Depiction of a crowded scene on and around the hustings at Covent Garden during the Westminster election of 1796. The detailed print includes a state of the poll; examples of the numerous printed items that could be produced by elections; and a large, socially diverse gathering around the hustings made up of non-voting, as well as voting, electoral participants: women, men, and children.
