EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in North Carolina's history - the 1884 election. The scene unfolds at a mountain election precinct in Swain County, showcasing the essence of democracy in action. In this line engraving from an American newspaper, we see men from different walks of life gathered outside a humble building. Their expressions reveal the gravity of their civic duty as they prepare to cast their votes for the next president. The image captures both anticipation and determination. The composition draws attention to a barrel serving as an improvised ballot box, symbolizing the simplicity and resourcefulness of this democratic system. It is worth noting that while African Americans are present among those waiting in line, it is evident that voting rights were not yet equally accessible to all citizens during this time. The print transports us to a bygone era when elections were conducted with pen and paper rather than electronic machines or mail-in ballots. It serves as a reminder of how far our democratic processes have evolved over time. As we reflect on this historical snapshot, let us appreciate the progress made towards inclusivity within our electoral systems while acknowledging that there is still work to be done for true equality at every polling station across America.
