Inez Boissevain Suffrage Poster
<B>Inez Milholland Boissevain Poster And Window Card</B></I> <BR>Wonderful poster, full color with gold and blue/purple background. Dressed in white Ms. Boissevain rides a white horse carrying a banner . "FORWARD INTO LIGHT". A Vassar College graduate, she led the Great Suffrage Procession, Washington, DC, March 3, 1913 where 8,000 women marched for suffrage the day before Woodrow Wilson's Inauguration. A riot broke out and many of the participants were injured. This poster depicts her costume as medieval herald for the event. An active suffrage speaker and lecturer, she collapsed in LA in October 1916 while giving a suffrage speech. Her last words were, "How long must women wait for liberty?" The poster was produced by Alice Paul's National Woman's Suffrage Party to raise funds for the party. The party also produced the smaller window poster. 11 x 9" printed on heavy stock paper. There is a faint bend on the lower left corner, barely visible. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. Lot:27523
