EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history, titled "Women at the Polls in New Jersey". Illustrated by Howard Pyle and published in Harper's Weekly in 1880, this lithograph captures an important milestone for women's rights. The image depicts a group of ladies gathered inside a poll station during the "Good Old Times" of American history. This artwork is believed to be one of the earliest examples of English-speaking women exercising their right to vote in government elections between 1790 and 1807. It serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by suffragettes who fought tirelessly for equal voting rights. The composition exudes an atmosphere filled with determination and hope. Each woman stands tall, showcasing their resilience and commitment to making their voices heard. Their presence within the poll station signifies breaking barriers and challenging societal norms. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his portrayal of these strong-willed women. From their elegant attire to their expressions brimming with anticipation, every element adds depth to this historical scene. As we reflect on this remarkable piece from the Brandywine School, it reminds us that progress often comes through perseverance and unity. This print not only celebrates those brave women who paved the way but also encourages us all to continue fighting for equality today.
