Printed Ephemera — 1913
Broadsheet
Product sample broadsheet produced by the Suffrage Atelier. This broadsheet reproduces, in miniature, designs produced by the Atelier. It was used by customers when ordering full sized posters and postcards. This is one of two broadsheets produced by the Atelier.
The Suffrage Atelier was founded in London in February 1909 as 'An Arts and Crafts Society Working for the Enfranchisement of Women'. Its object 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.
Laurence and Clemence Housman were co-founders of the Atelier, other members were Catherine Courtauld, Edith Craig and Isobel Pocock. The Atelier was associated with the militant Votes for Women campaign, in particular the Women's Freedom League. It also ran the Art Stall at the WSPU's fund-raising Women's Exhibition in 1909.
