Description

An exceptional piece of early 20th-century social commentary, this is an original print of the iconic Charles Dana Gibson illustration titled "A Suffragette Husband". Originally published in Collier's Magazine in 1909, this artwork captures the changing gender roles and public anxieties surrounding the burgeoning women's suffrage movement in America.

Item Features:

• Artist: Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944), the acclaimed creator of the "Gibson Girl", who was known for his astute, often humorous, observations of modern American life.
• Title: "A Suffragette Husband" (also known as "A Suffragette's Husband")
• Date: Circa 1909, making it a genuine piece of historical print media.
• Medium: Black ink illustration/sketch on paper.
• Subject Matter: The artwork provides a compelling, satirical view of a perceived domestic role reversal: a stern-looking wife reads headlines about suffrage movements in the newspaper, while her dejected husband sits glumly by, a similarly downtrodden dog at her side. This print is a fascinating artifact of gender politics at the turn of the century.
