The General Election: canvassing, 1880. 'The ladies, for their part, whoever be their favourite candidate, have very often proved their superior talent for the work of canvassing votes. Our front page Engraving, it will be observed, sets forth an incident of this kind with some degree of pleasantry. The good-natured shopkeeper, a grocer or Italian warehouse-man, will yield to the entreaties of his fair visitors, as we already see. He knows that they, at least, are not going to take their custom to the Co-operative Stores'. From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
