Description
Woman's Suffrage: Carlton Crested China "She Shall Have Votes" Bell. A humorous souvenir made available to tourists while visiting the town of Oxford. This 4" china bell is representative of the attitudes towards the woman's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom at the time. Seen from one direction the viewer sees a face representing the flower of English beauty; when viewed from the opposite direction, one sees the typical caricature of a bonneted dowdy suffragette. The implication being that votes for women would somehow spoil the classic beauty of England's fair woman folk. The colors are still very strong in this example. There are some surface micro-chips along the bell's resting edge otherwise it is in excellent condition.Auction Info
