EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a part of a series of twelve political cartoons modeled in diorama form, showcased at the Women's Social and Political Union's (WSPU) Women's Exhibition in May 1909. The diorama in question, titled "Runaway Asquith," depicts a dramatic scene of British Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and his cabinet members, Lloyd George and McKenna, fleeing in terror from a determined group of suffragettes. Waving their banners and demonstrating their unwavering resolve, these women were a force to be reckoned with in their quest for women's suffrage. The humorous yet poignant caption, "Runaway Asquith," underscores the power dynamic at play during this pivotal moment in history. The Political Peepshow exhibit, featuring these intricately crafted dioramas, served as a visual commentary on the political climate of the time and the suffragettes' relentless pursuit of the right to vote. This print is a testament to the courage and determination of the suffragettes and the impact they had on British politics.
