EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1880, titled "Women at the Polls in New Jersey in the Good Old Times" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in American history. The image, originally published in Harper's Weekly, showcases an important milestone for women's suffrage and political participation. In 1776, the New Jersey Constitution granted voting rights to all inhabitants of full age who were worth fifty pounds and had resided in the county. This lithograph beautifully captures this historic scene as women exercise their right to vote during a government election. The black and white illustration by Howard Pyle (1853-1911) depicts an interior view of a polling station bustling with activity. Women can be seen eagerly casting their ballots into the ballot box while others patiently wait their turn. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and determination as these trailblazing women make their voices heard through democratic means. This piece is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and political empowerment. It symbolizes the relentless efforts made by suffragettes throughout North America, particularly within the United States. As we reflect on this powerful image, it reminds us that every vote counts and that progress often comes through perseverance against societal norms. Let us cherish this print not only for its historical significance but also for its ability to inspire future generations to continue fighting for equal representation at every level of government.
