About the Item
Title: Voting by Ballot in the United States - Published in The Graphic, November 6, 1879.
Description: This hand-colored engraving, published in *The Graphic* on November 6, 1879, offers a glimpse into the voting process in the United States during the late 19th century. The scene depicts a group of men, diverse in age and appearance, gathered around ballot boxes, waiting to cast their votes. Among them, a Black man stands in line, signifying the inclusion of African American men in the voting process following the Civil War and the ratification of the 15th Amendment in 1870.
The voters are dressed in a range of contemporary clothing, from working-class attire to more formal suits and hats, reflecting the varied social and economic backgrounds of those participating in the election. The crowded room conveys the importance of civic duty, with everyone awaiting their turn in an orderly manner. A poll worker, seated at a desk to the left, is recording voter information, while another official assists with the casting of ballots.
This illustration captures a pivotal moment in American democracy, highlighting the expansion of voting rights and the growing importance of participation in elections. The inclusion of a diverse group of voters in this image underscores the progress made during Reconstruction and the ongoing challenges of securing voting rights for all.
About the Publication and Technique: The Graphic was a British illustrated newspaper that provided its readers with detailed visual accounts of significant events from around the world. This particular engraving, showing a scene from the United States, reflects the publication’s interest in American democracy and its evolving electoral processes. Wood engraving was the primary method used for illustrations in *The Graphic*, and this print has been hand-colored to enhance the depth and richness of the scene.
