EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and politically charged coloured lithograph from 1784, we are transported back to the Westminster elections of the 18th century. The English School artist masterfully captures the essence of satire and caricature as he portrays a scene filled with intrigue and hidden agendas. The focal point of the print is an unlikely duo - a male and female figure engaged in an amusing piggyback ride. This comical image symbolizes the concept of "Ride for Ride or Secret Influence Rewarded" suggesting that political success often hinges on clandestine alliances rather than genuine merit. A clever twist is added by including a fox, traditionally associated with cunning and deceit, lurking behind a door in the background. This sly creature represents the hidden forces at play within politics, further emphasizing how secret influences can shape electoral outcomes. Adding another layer to this visual narrative are speech bubbles scattered throughout the composition. These bubbles serve as windows into each character's thoughts or conversations, revealing their true motivations and intentions. This extraordinary piece offers us not only a glimpse into historical election practices but also serves as a timeless reminder that politics has always been rife with manipulation and subterfuge. It invites us to reflect on our own contemporary democratic systems while appreciating both its artistic brilliance and its enduring relevance. Image source: www. bridgemanimages. com
