EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - the hustings for the Southwark election of 1870. The scene is set beside Borough Road, with crowds gathered to witness the democratic process unfold. The hustle and bustle of the campaign trail can be felt through this detailed depiction, as candidates vie for votes and make their final appeals to the electorate.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, as it offers a glimpse into a bygone era when elections were conducted in public forums like this one. The sense of import and gravity surrounding the event is palpable, with each figure depicted playing their part in shaping the future direction of Southwark.
As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to February 26th, 1870, when political tensions ran high and every vote counted. The meticulous attention to detail in this print allows us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of that day, feeling as though we are standing among those present at the hustings.
In preserving moments like these through artistry and craftsmanship, prints such as these from Mary Evans Prints Online serve as invaluable windows into our shared past. They remind us of where we have come from and how far we still have yet to go on our journey towards progress and democracy.
