Printed Ephemera — 1913
The Unionist Leaders, 1868 to 1913, In Favour Of Woman Suffrage
Pro-female propaganda postcard depicting former politicians Disraeli, Salisbury, Balfour and Bonar Law who spoke in favour of female suffrage. The postcard, thereby, highlights the contrast between these progressive politicians and the regressive policies of Prime Minister Asquith and the present Government.
The Suffrage Atelier was founded in London in February 1909. Its aim was: 'to encourage Artists to forward the Women's Movement, and particularly the Enfranchisement of Women, by means of pictorial publications.'
The Atelier artists specialised in hand-made wooden block prints, stencilling and etchings and produced visually powerful posters and postcards to publicise the pro-suffrage campaign.
