Description
Alt text: A vertical postcard featuring a black and white photograph of a sculptural group titled "The Suffragist Arousing her Sisters," with a notation "Copyright, Ella Buchanan, SC, 1911." The sculpture depicts a central female figure blowing a long trumpet, surrounded by several other figures in varying poses. Below the image, text identifies the figures in the sculpture: "Central figure: The Suffragist; Degradation: Fallen, her right hand upon the foot of Vanity, who is unmoved and simpering. Conventionality: Listless, averted face, eyes closed; Wage Earner: Kneeling, appeals to the Suffragist for help." Text at the bottom reads, "Order phtogravures 12 inches by 16 inches, post cards, cast statuettes from your local headquarters. Handwritten notes are written along the left and right margins but are difficult to read. A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
