EDITORS COMMENTS
The Polling, 1758 (engraving) by William Hogarth captures the chaotic and corrupt nature of English politics in the 18th century. Part of his renowned Humours of an Election series, this print offers a satirical commentary on the electoral process. In this scene, we witness a rowdy polling station filled with male voters from different walks of life. Among them are invalid and disabled individuals, highlighting the disregard for their rights and representation. The engraving also exposes coercion and intimidation tactics employed by political parties such as the Whigs and Tories to secure votes. Hogarth's keen eye for detail brings out every aspect of Georgian society's flaws through cleverly crafted caricatures. With humor as his weapon, he sheds light on corruption within the system while providing entertainment to viewers. This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, political satire played an essential role in critiquing power structures. It invites us to reflect upon our own democratic processes today, questioning whether progress has been made or if similar issues still persist. The Polling is not just a historical artifact but also a testament to Hogarth's artistic genius in capturing societal complexities through visual storytelling.
