The Wrymouth Candidates or the Strangers at Home. Plate 1 Dedicated to every Indepent Elector.
June 1808.
Hand-coloured etching; 1808 watermark. 260 x 370mm (10¼ x 14½"). Trimmed to plate top and bottom.
Three candidates for Weymouth are displayed on a table to the electors, whose heads and shoulders form the base of the design. One is a tiny figure standing on the hand of a man who stands on the table; a military officer stands beside the table (left), pointing to the tiny candidate; he bows to the electors. Cranborne bows, hat in hand. The second candidate stands hat in hand; under his arm is a book: 'Slavery vindicated'. None of the electors looks towards him. The third (right) stands hat in hand with both arms above his head; papers inscribed 'Contract' project from both pockets. Only the two electors on the extreme right look up at him. A man stands behind the table (left) addressing the electors. A poll-clerk sits behind the table, putting a finger knowingly to his eye. On the table is an open book (? Bible), each double-columned page headed 'Kings'. Ten electors constitute the audience; all but two gaze up at Cranborne. BM Satires 12284.
