This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - a general election scene before the introduction of the secret ballot. The year is 1868, and voters are seen flocking to the poll at Westminster to exercise their democratic right. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and excitement as crowds gather around hoardings, eagerly awaiting their turn to cast their votes.
In this snapshot of political history, we see a diverse range of individuals making their way towards the polling station. From well-dressed gentlemen to working-class coalmen, each voter plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Britain through their participation in the electoral process.
The image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of electoral transparency and fairness since the days when voting was done publicly. With the introduction of the secret ballot, voters were able to make their choices without fear or intimidation, ensuring that every voice was heard and every vote counted.
