EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Powerful Plea for Women's Suffrage from the Artists Suffrage League This evocative poster, designed by Joan Harvey Drew for the Artists Suffrage League, powerfully conveys the urgency and determination of the women's suffrage movement in early 20th century Britain. Dated circa 1909, the poster features a woman in a traditional bonnet and a skirt bearing the words "Women's Suffrage," addressing John Bull, the personification of England, who is beset by a host of political and legislative issues. John Bull, depicted as a sturdy, middle-aged man with a flowing beard, is shown struggling under the weight of various burdens, symbolizing the numerous challenges facing the country at the time. The woman's outstretched hand and earnest expression convey her desire to alleviate John Bull's struggles and bring about positive change. The Artists Suffrage League, a group of artists and designers who used their talents to promote the women's suffrage cause, produced this poster as part of their efforts to raise awareness and galvanize support for women's right to vote. The poster's powerful imagery and compelling message underscore the importance of the suffrage movement and its impact on the political landscape of the time. The poster's caption, "Won't you let me help you, John?" is a poignant appeal to John Bull, and by extension, to the men of Britain, to recognize the potential contributions of women to the political process and to grant them the right to vote. This poster is a testament to the power of art and creativity in advancing social and political change. Circa 1909, London S.E.
