EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into London's electoral history: This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Lambeth's nomination process at Kennington Park in 1865. The scene is set before the main entrance to the park, where a crowd of onlookers gathers to witness the proceedings. At center stage, four candidates - Frederick Doulton, James Lawience, Thomas Hughes, and James Haig - are vying for support from their constituents.
As each candidate takes turns speaking from the dais, they address an eager audience clad in top hats and coats of varying styles. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as the crowd deliberates on who to back. In the foreground, a horseman rides by, adding a touch of elegance to the scene.
This photograph was published in "Illustrated London News" in 1865, providing an intimate look at local politics during this era. It serves as a fascinating window into Britain's past, offering insights into the lives and concerns of its citizens during the mid-19th century.
