EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SUFFRAGE CARTOON, 1920. The Poison and the Antidote" by Calvert Smith is a powerful representation of the optimism surrounding women's suffrage in America during that era. The cartoon cleverly portrays the enfranchisement of women as an antidote to the poison of political corruption perpetuated by party machines. In this thought-provoking artwork, various symbols are used to convey its message effectively. A ballot box represents democracy while a cane symbolizes authority and power. The presence of a cigar suggests political corruption, highlighting how men were often associated with such practices at that time. The inclusion of an inkwell signifies the importance of documenting votes accurately and transparently. Additionally, stereotypes are challenged through imagery like an immigrant character, challenging prevailing biases against certain groups within society. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of suffragists holding handbags and wearing hats adorned with feathers – symbols associated with femininity and empowerment. Overall, this artwork captures both hope for change and criticism towards existing systems. It serves as a reminder that granting women the right to vote would not only empower them but also help combat political corruption prevalent in American society during that period. This historical photograph from Sarin Images / The Granger Collection offers viewers a glimpse into an important moment in American history when progress was being made towards gender equality within democratic processes.
