Légende

'An Infant Orphan Election at the London Tavern. 'Polling' ', 1865. View of the grand first floor room at the London Tavern in Bishopsgate. Voters bought a subscription for the right to vote for the 'needy' children of their choice in the hope that they might enter the Infant Orphan Asylum at Wanstead. The poignant scene on the left shows a widow who is no longer able to support the child she clings to.
