EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print, titled "The Only Time He is Considered: A Scene from the Hustings," poignantly captures the desperation of electioneering in the 19th century, as both a Tory and a Liberal politician humbly beg for the vote of the common working man. The image, created by the renowned political satirist, John Callcott Horsley under the pseudonym "Cynicus," depicts the two politicians, dressed in their finest suits, getting down on their knees in front of a rough-hewn workman, who holds a pick and shovel in hand. The laborer, seemingly unimpressed, looks on with a skeptical expression as the politicians pray for his support. The title of the print, "The Only Time He is Considered," underscores the cynical view of the political system, which only pays attention to the working class during election season. The historical significance of this satire remains relevant today, as the class divide and the struggle for political representation continue to be pressing issues. The image serves as a stark reminder of the desperate measures politicians have resorted to in order to secure votes and the disconnect between the political elite and the working class. This powerful and thought-provoking print is a testament to the enduring nature of political satire and its ability to shed light on the complexities of the political landscape.
