Description
Alt text: A racially offensive anti-suffrage postcard cartoon titled "De Suffre-Jet" at the bottom. It depicts a caricature of a Black woman, stereotypically dressed with exaggerated features, in a pink skirt and hat, holding a cane and carrying "Womans rights" literature in her pocket. She appears to be preparing to go out. She is standing over a distraught Black man, also depicted as a stereotypical caricature, who is leaning over a pink tub of laundry on a stool. A sign on the wall reads, "Miss Jonsing Washing dun," with the word "miss" crossed out and replaced with "mister." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
