Notes
Content: "The friends of Henry Clay meet here", "The friends of J. K. Polk meet here"--signs in image.
Content: "Our Correspondent at New York has completed his Illustration of this animated scene with the annexed sketch of the exterior of one of the polling-places, which, heretofore, had been held at taverns; but at this election, as much as possible, at private houses, engine house, &c. The sketch represents one of the latter: scattered about, as you approach the entrance, are tables, or wooden sheds, at which sit persons, dispensing Whig or Democratic tickets folded up; while others more actively ply the passenger on behalf of one or other of the candidates, and, not infrequently, as they are folded, deceive you with the wrong one; so that it is very essential to open and examine the tickets before entering the room, which usually has an entrance and exits doors, at both of which are constables with crossed staves; who admit about a dozen at a time, or according to the size of the room."--from source periodical.
Source note: Illustrated London news. (London : Illustrated London News and Sketch Ltd., 1842-).
