The City Race, 1771 - A Satirical Snapshot of London's Mayoral Election
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in the history of London - the mayoral election of 1771. Depicting a lively race through the city streets, this anonymous engraving offers a satirical commentary on the political landscape of that time. At the forefront, we see William Nash, an influential figure from the Treasury, leading the pack despite his crutches. Behind him are John Sawbridge and Sir Thomas Hallifax, both vying for victory in this fiercely contested race. However, Crosby has stumbled and fallen to the ground, symbolizing his failure in this electoral battle. Intriguingly, amidst all this chaos and competition stands John Wilkes donning mayoral robes while proudly raising the cap of liberty on a staff. This gesture signifies his support for democratic ideals during an era marked by political tension. The scene is further enlivened by Frederick Bull restraining enthusiastic crowds as they listen intently to Horne's impassioned speech. The backdrop showcases Georgian-era architecture with its charming avenues and bustling streets. This caricature-like artwork not only provides insight into 18th-century British politics but also serves as a reminder of how satire was employed to critique societal issues during that time. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery archives today, it continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance.
