To the Independent Electors of Westminster
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical engraving that captures the essence of the 1741 general election in Westminster. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, this print offers a glimpse into the political landscape of that time. The image depicts two figures, Vernon and Edwin, who represent opposing candidates vying for the support of independent voters. The satire lies in their exaggerated features and comical expressions, highlighting the absurdity and theatrics often associated with elections. Surrounded by a bustling cityscape, complete with a stone church and public monument, this artwork showcases not only its architectural details but also serves as a reminder of how politics intertwines with society. It reflects on how power struggles play out within communities and shape their landscapes. This print is part of "A History of Parliamentary Elections and Electioneering from the Stuarts to Queen Victoria" written by Joseph Grego in 1892. Its inclusion in this historical text demonstrates its significance as an artifact documenting electoral practices throughout British history. As we observe this piece today, it invites us to reflect on our own democratic processes while appreciating both its artistic merit and historical context.
