EDITORS COMMENTS
William Hogarth's Election 3 of 4: The Polling, or Scene at the Hustings (1758) is a captivating print that offers a vivid and intriguing glimpse into the political landscape of 18th-century Britain. This masterpiece by the renowned English painter and printmaker is the third plate in Hogarth's famous series of four prints, collectively known as "A Rake's Progress," which chronicles the downfall of a young man named Tom Rakewell. However, this particular print stands alone as a powerful commentary on the corrupt and chaotic nature of elections during this period. The Polling plate depicts a bustling scene at the hustings, where voters have gathered to cast their ballots. The atmosphere is filled with tension and excitement, as candidates and their supporters jostle for position and attempt to influence the voters' decisions. In the foreground, a man in a red waistcoat, likely a Tory supporter, tries to sway a voter by offering him a bribe. Meanwhile, a group of Whig supporters, dressed in blue, look on disapprovingly. The chaos of the scene is further emphasized by the disorderly arrangement of the polling booths, with ballots and papers strewn about haphazardly. Voters are shown stuffing ballots into various boxes, some with the intention of voting for the candidate of their choice, while others are seen selling their votes to the highest bidder. Hogarth's masterful use of detail and satire in this print serves to highlight the corruption and deceit that permeated the electoral process during this time. The Polling plate is a powerful reminder of the importance of transparency and fairness in elections, and continues to resonate with audiences today as a testament to the enduring relevance of Hogarth's work.
