The artist skillfully portrays the hustle and bustle of the crowd, with people jostling for attention and waving placards in support of their preferred candidate. This satirical cartoon not only provides entertainment but also sheds light on the political climate of the time. It highlights both the power struggles between candidates and the influence that public opinion had on elections during this period. The engraving's black-and-white aesthetic adds to its historical charm, transporting viewers back to a bygone era when politics was as much about spectacle as it was about policy.
