Amidst the pages of John Mason Good's Pantologia, a 19th-century encyclopedia, this hand-coloured copperplate engraving of a 'Suffragette, Not a Vote - a Bloke' stands out. The image, inspired by Sydenham Edwards, depicts a man with a bundle of various plant leaves, perhaps a nod to the natural world and the growth of the suffrage movement. Meanwhile, an advertisement for Manns brown ale subtly peeks into the corner, a reminder of the everyday life contrasting the political fight for women's suffrage. This intriguing juxtaposition of nature, activism, and commerce encapsulates the rich tapestry of the era.
