EDITORS COMMENTS
The Day Before the Election, 1887" is a captivating etching by Thomas Waterman Wood, a prominent American artist of the 19th century. This print, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into the past of American political culture. The image depicts a scene from the election season of 1887, with several men deeply engrossed in a lively discussion. The figures are etched with intricate detail, each one distinctly characterized by their facial expressions and body language. The men, dressed in the fashion of the time, are clustered around a table, their faces a mix of intense concentration, animated gestures, and thoughtful contemplation. The setting of the print is rural, with a backdrop of trees and a farmhouse, emphasizing the connection between the land and the people. The use of grey tones adds to the historic feel, transporting the viewer back to a time when the outcome of an election held significant importance to the daily lives of Americans. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the historic significance of the election process. It invites discussion and reflection on the political climate of the late 19th century and the enduring importance of democratic processes in American society. Thomas Waterman Wood's "The Day Before the Election, 1887" is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, art, or politics. This etching is a reminder of the past, a reflection of the present, and a window into the future of American democracy.
