This hand-colored woodcut print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the counting of electoral votes that ultimately granted Rutherford Hayes the presidency in 1877. The image takes us back to February 1877, immediately following the fiercely contested Tilden-Hayes Election of 1876. The vintage illustration transports us to a bygone era, showcasing the traditional and historic process of electing a president in the 19th century. With intricate details and vibrant colors, it offers a glimpse into the government's inner workings during this transformative period. The significance of this particular election is palpable as we witness democracy at work.

This visual representation serves as both a reminder and celebration of our democratic heritage and its enduring principles.
