EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WOMENs RIGHTS CARTOON. Afternoon Tea" by Albert Levering, created in 1910, offers a thought-provoking contrast between the conditions endured by wealthy women's suffrage protesters and other inmates in prison. The satirical cartoon serves as a powerful commentary on the stark disparities within society during that era. In this image, we see an interior scene depicting an upper-class tea party taking place inside a cell block. A group of elegantly dressed women, representing wealthy suffragettes fighting for their rights, are seated around a table adorned with fine china and served by a tuxedo-clad waiter. They enjoy their afternoon tea while playing music on an accordion and engaging in lively conversation. Contrasting sharply with this luxurious setting is the presence of other inmates depicted in the background. These men, dressed as convicts and political prisoners, stand behind bars or perform manual labor under strict guard supervision. Their somber expressions highlight the harsh reality they face compared to the privileged suffragettes enjoying their leisurely gathering. Albert Levering skillfully uses his artistic talent to shed light on social inequalities prevalent at that time. This thought-provoking piece encourages viewers to reflect upon the struggles faced by different segments of society and advocates for equal treatment under the law. The Granger Collection has once again provided us with an insightful glimpse into history through this remarkable artwork from their vast collection of prints.
