EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Election Sketches, Past and Present" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by William Ralston in 1880, captures the essence of an election night with its intricate details and vivid imagery. In this artwork, we witness the hustle and bustle of a street scene filled with passionate fighters for their chosen candidates. The style is reminiscent of the time period, transporting us to a bygone era where politics played out on the streets rather than through screens. As we observe this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that both sides have pledged their loyalty to their respective opponents. Some are seen engaged in fervent discussions while others patiently pray for their desired outcome. Every face tells a story - hope mixed with anxiety as they await the poll results. The artist has skillfully drawn attention to various elements within this scene: from quite squares where gentlemen gather to discuss politics, to valuable horses used for transport during election campaigns. Even wildlife makes an appearance as farm animals graze nearby. It's fascinating how even back then, elections were highly valued events that brought communities together. This engraving serves as a reminder of our democratic heritage and highlights how much society has evolved since those times. Overall, "Election Sketches, Past and Present" offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the enduring nature of politics and its impact on people's lives throughout generations.
