2010-014-011Description
A black-and-white landscape-oriented photographic print showing Thornbury Mayor George Michael putting a ballot in a voting box. He is dressed for cold weather, wearing a textured fur hat and a light-coloured winter jacket featuring two distinct dark athletic or institutional stripes running horizontally across the upper sleeve.
To the left of the frame, two female clerks monitor the station behind a wide registration desk. The woman closest to the voter leans forward over the table to verify details; she wears a light-coloured tailored suit and eyeglasses. Seated immediately to her right is a second clerk wearing a light, pointed-collar dress shirt under a dark contrast vest, also wearing glasses, who is captured looking down while writing.
In the immediate foreground at the bottom right corner sits a tall, industrial metal ballot box equipped with a top-loading drop slit and a prominent upright metal locking handle. The background establishes a utilitarian office or records room environment, detailed with tall open shelving units filled with documents and various informational sheets pinned up across the back wall.
Written on the reverse side in blue ink reads “George Michael - R.H December 6”. Stamped in blue ink reads "Review-Herald, Thornbury, Ont.".Photograph Details
