Election Anglaise. Lord-Iginal faisant sa motion [graphic].Buguet, Henri, 1761-1847, printmaker[May 1818?]fre"The candidate, stout and plainly dressed stands on a cask, bawling with outstretched hand at his audience, who are grouped below him, their heads only appearing, except for figure in the foreground. Here a lady (three-quarter length), a veil hanging from her hat over her face, and forming a background to her handsome profile, puts coins from a bag into the extended palm of a man, who gazes fixedly at her face, and who may be intended for a butcher. In the crowd, a fist strikes one man in the eye another is being slapped on the cheek. Three profiles gaze up cynically at the speaker, one is drinking."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Print attributed to Henri Buquet in the British Museum catalogue.Date from British Museum online catalogue."Déposé."
