Original Suffrage Artwork for Life Magazine.
<B>Original Suffrage Artwork for Life Magazine.</B></I> <I>Life</B></I> magazine was known for its series of special issues on the suffrage question, some satirical, some decidedly pro. This lot features a 12” x 16” piece of artwork signed Paul Stahr and entitled “Retouching an Old Masterpiece,” in which a woman is adding to the Constitution the words “and women” to the phrase “all men are created equal.” It is interesting to see how the idealized portrait of a woman here differs from the image of the harridan that is frequently present on anti-suffrage material. Unfortunately, this piece is wrinkled throughout, but its nice framing enables it to be eminently displayable. <I>From the Frank Corbeil Collection</B></I>.<BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
