EDITORS COMMENTS
The Polling, Plate III from The Humours of an Election, 1757 captures the essence of political turmoil and social inequality in 18th century England. In this thought-provoking print by William Hogarth, we witness a poignant scene unfolding during the Oxfordshire parliamentary election of 1754. At the center of attention stands an old soldier, his weathered face reflecting years of service to his country. As he solemnly tenders his oath to uphold democracy, a challenging advocate raises an unexpected objection. Due to losing his right hand in battle, the soldier is unable to physically place it on the book as required. This powerful image serves as a metaphor for the disenfranchisement faced by individuals with disabilities at that time. It highlights society's failure to accommodate those who have sacrificed their well-being for their nation's cause. Hogarth's masterful use of monochrome adds depth and intensity to this satirical commentary on politics and power dynamics. The bustling atmosphere surrounding the polling station further emphasizes the significance of this momentous event. Through this print, Hogarth invites us to reflect upon our own democratic principles and consider how far we have come in promoting inclusivity and equal representation within our societies. It serves as a reminder that progress should never be taken for granted.
