Metropolitan Boroughs election sketches: after the battle, 1874. Voting in London: men with sandwich boards. 'In the western borough of Chelsea-cum-Kensington, it will be observed, a pair of Radical Baronets found themselves opposed by one Conservative barrister, and, still worse, embarrassed by the unwelcome pretensions of a third Liberal candidate. The "Chelsea sandwich," composed of a piece of man between two slices of placard, was seen walking about that part of town all day, so that one might run and read'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
