INFANT ORPHAN ELECTION AT THE LONDON TAVERN - POLLING, BY G.E. HICKS..., 1865. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
Infant Orphan Election at the London Tavern - Polling, by G.E. Hicks, in the exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1865. Engraving of a painting. The picture is '...essentially pathetic and dramatic in the contrasts it presents, and yet one that is not devoid of food for innocent humour...an opportunity is afforded for obeying the Divine injunction to "Remember the widow and the fatherless," and at the same time for enjoying all the excitement of a political contest...What an irresistible sensation header might be borrowed from one of the placards in this picture by some great unknown candidate: "No father, no mother! Second application!"...Seriously, however, this picture has much that is pathetic as well as humorous...we must not ignore the strong under-current of sadness which must be experienced on witnessing such a scene as this...only a small proportion of those applicants can be elected. This, if we read the picture aright, is plainly intimated by the anxiety of the young widow to the left, though well supported, and by that of others elsewhere, but still more in the heartbroken disappointment depicted in the attitude and expression of the poor woman to the right, with her unconscious child playing at her side'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. Infant Orphan Election at the London Tavern - Polling, by G.E. Hicks..., 1865. Creator: W Thomas. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONEERING IN NEW YORK: TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION OF THE M'CLELLAN PARTY, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Presidential electioneering in New York: torchlight procession of the M'Clellan party, 1864. Engraving of a sketch by Mr. C. D. Shanly. '...there was another tremendous demonstration here in favour of M'Clellan and Pendleton for the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States, respectively...There was an endless torchlight procession of the M'Clellanites belonging to the several wards of the city; and the torches, every now and then, discharged globes of fire and showers of sparks into the air. All was a blaze of many-coloured light...Conspicuous in the procession were a number of large waggons, draped with the national flag and hung around with Chinese lanterns and other luminous objects. So crowded were these vehicles that they resembled moving pyramids of acrobats. They all displayed an immense variety of transparencies...I noticed one of them with a large stuffed eagle mounted over it upon rods, in a position intended to represent the sweeping soar of that noble bird. The jokes of Mr. Lincoln were a favourite subject for the legends upon the transparencies...The sentiment throughout this demonstration was one of disgust with the [US Civil] war; the feeling, that with the election of M'Clellan peace will be restored - somehow'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Presidential electioneering in New York: torchlight procession of the M'Clellan party, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
