Created by George Elgar Hicks and now part of a private collection, this print captures the essence of an event that unfolded on July 8,1865. Intriguingly depicted within the illustration is a scene filled with bustling activity. The London Tavern serves as the backdrop for an election like no other - one where children take center stage. This unique event known as the Infant Orphan Election brings together young souls who have lost their parents, providing them with hope and support during challenging times. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we witness children engaging in what appears to be polling activities. Their innocent faces reflect both excitement and trepidation as they participate in this democratic process. It is heartwarming to see these little ones exercising their voices and being given agency over their own futures. Hicks masterfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also the emotional atmosphere of this occasion. Through his skilled hand, he invites us to ponder upon themes such as resilience, community spirit, and compassion towards those less fortunate. This engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection serves as a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to care for vulnerable members of society. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, there is always room for unity and progress.
