Created by Thomas Rowlandson in the late 18th century, this artwork captures a pivotal clash between two opposing forces. The scene depicts an intense confrontation as Balissimo Corbettino's renowned Cecilian Forces face off against the Champion of the People and his chosen band. The artist skillfully portrays a chaotic battlefield with soldiers engaged in fierce combat. The composition highlights both sides' determination to claim victory. This satirical drawing is part of Joseph Grego's book "A History of Parliamentary Elections and Electioneering from the Stuarts to Queen Victoria". It serves as a visual representation of political struggles during that era. The image sheds light on election campaigns and their impact on government affairs in Great Britain. Rowlandson's intricate details bring life to each character present on this historic battlefield. From armed troops to determined voters observing from afar, every element adds depth to this dramatic scene.
