This postcard was produced in support of the suffragette movement in Britain. It shows four women gathered in fron of the Houses of Parliament. Two of the women are holding leaflets marked ' Votes for Women'. The image is accompanied by some lines of verse:
This is "THE HOUSE" that man built,
And these are the Suffragettes of note
Determined to fight for their right to vote;
For they mean to be, each one an M.P.
And they'll keep their vow some fine day you'll see
For the Suffragette is determined to get
Into, "The House" that man built.'
A handwritten message on the reverse of the postcard is more sinister:
'Gentleman. A meeting will be held in the Dome, at Bton on Wednesday next by Mrs Crissy Pankhurst. We hope to see a big audience of men to make things a bit lively [sic]. Please bring a weapon to defend yourselves with as the ladies use Dog whips. I am yours truly the secretary to the suffragetts [sic]. Doors open at 7.30'.
The message has been written upside down, in a crude attempt to discourage others from reading it. The postcard is addressed to an illegible person who was apparently serving on HMS Hindustan. This ship was being refitted in Portsmouth at the time the postcard was sent.
