The Election at Rossendale, Lancashire
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to the political scene of 1892. The image captures the intensity and drama surrounding an election in this Lancashire town. In the foreground, we see a blind voter being consoled by a sympathetic onlooker, highlighting the challenges faced by marginalized individuals during elections. A peppery Lancashire lad passionately engages with Mr. A Pease, perhaps expressing his support or discontent towards him. The print also showcases the result of the election, with various politicians and members of the community gathered together in Bacup Co-operative Hall. Gladstonian posters adorn the walls, indicating strong support for William Ewart Gladstone's Liberal Party. Despite these political tensions, there is an air of indifference among some attendees as they engage in casual conversations or appear disinterested in proceedings. However, one cannot ignore their presence as they contribute to shaping local politics. The engraving provides a glimpse into not only electoral politics but also social dynamics within Rossendale and its neighboring towns like Rawtenstall and Stacksteads. It offers valuable insight into how communities engaged with democracy during this period. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of a significant moment in British political history. It allows us to reflect upon our democratic heritage while appreciating Almond's skillful rendering of this pivotal event.
