EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Our Military during Polling Time, a Mock Election at the Brompton Barracks, Chatham" artist John Charles Dollman takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts a lively mock election taking place within the walls of the barracks, showcasing the vibrant democratic spirit that permeated through military ranks. The image is filled with an array of characters and activities. At its center stands a conservative candidate passionately addressing the crowd while being flanked by his supporters. A liberal outrider can be seen on horseback, symbolizing political diversity even within military circles. The ceremonial atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of an admiral and sheriffs officer overseeing proceedings. Dollman's attention to detail brings out various elements worth noting - from the multitude of soldiers engaged in conversation or observing intently to women advocating for their rights amidst this political spectacle. Every corner reveals something intriguing; it truly captures both the grandeur and complexity of this mock election. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on April 17th, 1880, providing readers with a glimpse into this unique event at Brompton Barracks. Today, it serves as a testament to our military's commitment not only to national defense but also to upholding democratic values. As we gaze upon this print from yesteryears' elections, let us reflect on how far we have come and appreciate those who fought for our right to vote freely and without fear – both then and now.
