Electors have played a significant role throughout history, shaping nations and determining the course of events. In 1852, Benjamin Disraeli highlighted their importance as he delved into the intricate workings of politics. Meanwhile, Luther's baptism in Wittenberg showcased how even religious figures were subject to the influence of electors. One such influential figure was King Frederick William I, who visited new buildings in Berlin Friedrichstadt. As an Elector of Brandenburg since 1713, he left his mark on Prussia's history. Similarly, Emperor Leopold I's coronation banquet with the electors in Frankfurt symbolized their collective power and authority. Looking back further into history, we find glimpses through various artistic representations. The handcolored copperplate engravings from the Golden Bull of 1365 provide a visual insight into this medieval system. Additionally, Matania's depiction of Pompeii shows that even ancient civilizations had their own forms of electoral processes. The election process itself has been captured in art as well. From illustrations depicting the conclave electing Germany's emperor to Mr Gladstone addressing Greenwich voters during a general election in France - these images showcase democracy at work. However, not all elections were peaceful affairs; some involved submission by force or coercion. Plate 12 from "The Submission" portrays Philip Landgrave surrendering against his will in 1547. Lastly, going back centuries earlier to Frankfurt in 1308 brings us to Henry VII's election as Holy Roman Emperor - a pivotal moment that shaped European history for years to come. Whether it be political leaders like Disraeli or historical events depicted through art and engravings - one cannot underestimate the significance and impact that they have had on societies throughout time.
