EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in American history - the session of the Electoral Commission in 1877. This commission was established to resolve twenty disputed electoral votes, including four from Florida, in the highly contentious 1876 presidential election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden. In this wood engraving after Theodore Davis, we see a gathering of influential figures seated around a table in what appears to be a government chamber. The men present include prominent politicians such as Allen G. Thurman, Joseph Bradley, George F. Edmunds, and Oliver P. Morton among others. The atmosphere is tense as these individuals engage in intense discussions and deliberations that would ultimately determine the outcome of the election. Their decisions had far-reaching consequences for both parties involved and for the future direction of the nation. This image serves as a reminder of how closely contested elections can shape history and influence political landscapes. It also highlights the importance of institutions like the Electoral Commission in ensuring fair democratic processes. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this print allows us to glimpse into an important chapter in American democracy while appreciating its historical significance even today.
