Pack of 8 Suffragette Greetings Cards, .
Assorted Designs, Suffragette Themes:
(Portrayer Publishers, 2003).
Pack of 8 greetings cards (8 different designs) which reproduce attractive images on suffragette themes. The images are printed in vibrant lithographic colours. (Please note that the sample electronic image, unlike the cards themselves, is watermarked with a Naomi Symes Books insignia and reduced in quality, to prevent image theft). Card measurements are 6 inches high by 4 inches wide and each card is complete with envelope. Blank interiors for your own message or for any occasion. Card 1: 'The Cat and Mouse Act', from a WSPU postcard, 1914. Card 2: Emmeline Pankhurst portrait from a modern, hand-painted oil painting, based on a photograph of her c.1909. Card 3: From a poster of 1908: Factory Acts - Regulations for Women. Card 4: 'The Suffragette Nails Her Colours to The Mast'. A masculine-looking woman attaches a 'Votes for Women' banner to her umbrella. An anti-women's suffrage image, a protest against the militancy of the suffragette movement, c.1908. Card 5: 'The Modern Inquisition'. From A WSPU poster, depicting the forcible feeding of suffragettes in prison, from the time of the January 1910 General Election. Card 6: From a Women Writers' Suffrage League poster, 1909, in which justice, personified as a woman, defends the female sex from male prejudice. Card 7: 'The Suffragette 1d Weekly'. From a poster advertising 'The Suffragette' newspaper, c.1912. Card 8: 'Meeting of Cabinet Ministers, 1978. Mrs Spankhurst, MP, Delivering her Maiden Speech'. Anti-suffrage, a satirical image from 1906, depicting four middle-aged women sitting around a tea table.
