EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of celebration and victory in a historical moment. The poster, created in 1841, commemorates the triumph of Conservative candidates in parliamentary elections held in Yorkshire, England. Measuring 57.5x45.5 cm, it is now housed at Leeds Museums and Art Galleries. The image features two prominent figures from that era: John Stuart-Wortley, the 2nd Baron Wharncliffe (1801-1855), and Sir Edmund Beckett-Denison, the 4th Baronet (1787-1874). Their names are proudly displayed alongside a powerful statement: "FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS". This phrase emphasizes their commitment to truth and highlights their dedication to conservative principles. Published by R. Perring & Co. , printers at Intelligencer Office in Leeds, this poster served as propaganda for the victorious Conservative Party during those times. It symbolizes not only their win but also represents an important aspect of British social history. With its Dickensian charm and political significance, this print transports us back to a time when local elections were fiercely contested battles for parliamentary seats. It stands as a testament to democracy's power and showcases Yorkshiremen's active participation in shaping their nation's future. As we gaze upon this piece of ephemera from the past, we are reminded of the enduring influence politics has on society while appreciating the artistic beauty captured by English School artists over a century ago.
