A Scene of Energetic Politics - The Finsbury Nomination, Clerkenwell Green, 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in British electoral history - the nomination for Finsbury's Metropolitan Boroughs election on Clerkenwell Green in 1865. As one of five candidates arrives at the Middlesex Sessions House amidst thunderous applause from his supporters, we are transported to an era of intense political fervor.
The scene is set with Mr. Alfred Carr, returning officer, presiding over the proceedings as each candidate takes their turn speaking before a show of hands declares winners Mr. Cox and Sir Perfitt. The atmosphere is electric, filled with enthusiasm and passion for the democratic process.
This historic moment has been immortalized in this striking print from "Illustrated London News", 1865, offering us a unique glimpse into the lives of ordinary people making their voices heard during an era of great social change.
