EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a unique and intriguing card from a suffragette-themed version of the popular card game, Snap. The card, titled "Baby at Home," features a crying baby who signs, "I vote that Mamma stays at home." The baby's resemblance to Prime Minister H.H. Asquith is striking, adding an unexpected layer of political commentary to the game. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained significant momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This card game, produced around 1908, reflects the cultural and political climate of the time. The use of a baby as a symbol in the suffrage movement was not uncommon, as women often argued that their role as mothers gave them a unique perspective and stake in society. The image of the baby, with its serious expression and outstretched hand, conveys a sense of determination and urgency. The use of Prime Minister Asquith's likeness adds a humorous and satirical element to the card, highlighting the frustrations and challenges faced by suffragettes in their fight for the vote. This historical artifact provides a fascinating glimpse into the suffragette movement and the creative ways in which activists used various forms of media to spread their message. The card game, with its suffragette theme, offers a unique perspective on the suffrage movement and the role of women in politics during this period.
