A Vibrant Scene of Canvassing for Votes in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex (circa 1890) This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of a local election campaign in the seaside town of Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, circa 1890. Robert Cresswell, the town's well-known omnibus operator, is seen in the center of the scene, engaging with a group of enthusiastic supporters. Cresswell, who ran the twice-daily omnibus service from Walton-on-the-Naze to Colchester and back, is shown here in his finest Victorian attire, complete with top hat and cane. Surrounding Cresswell are a diverse group of men, women, and children, all eager to lend their support to their preferred candidate. Some hold election posters and campaign literature, while others engage in animated discussions with passersby. A woman, dressed in a fashionable gown and carrying a parasol, looks on approvingly from the side of the cart. In the background, a butcher's cart is visible, adding to the bustling street scene. A horse-drawn cart, adorned with election banners, is parked nearby, ready to transport supporters to the polling station.
