BINGHAM, George Caleb (1811-1879). Canvassing for a Vote. Toned lithograph with handcolor. Lithographed by Regnier New York: Knoedler, 1853. 18" x 22" sheet. This image is part of a six-painting Election Series engraved by Sartain after the 1852 painting by Bingham. One of the leading American genre painters of the mid-nineteenth century, George Caleb Bingham created some of the most memorable views of American small town life. Bingham was fascinated by the democratic process and by the ways in which it permeated everyday existence in communities far removed from the big cities. Known as the Missouri Artist in his lifetime, Bingham was one of the most important painters of genre subjects in the mid-19th century. His early years were spent in Missouri, and he knew at first hand the life of the frontier, especially the comings and goings of the boatmen who ferried cargo on the great rivers of the Midwest.
