An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years.

Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer.

‎WOMAN SUFFRAGE. ALS. 4pgs. December 9 1914. Washington D.C. Four autograph letters on two sheets of ''Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage'' letterhead. The Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage was a Washington D.C.-based women's suffrage organization founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in 1913. The Congressional Union an offshoot of the National American Woman Suffrage Association advocated for suffrage on a federal level but held sometimes-extreme views that were not supported by the older organization. It counted Helen Keller among its members. Four active members wrote to their compatriot Virginia Patschke of Lebanon Pennsylvania sharing news of fellow members and union goings-on. The letters<br/>are:<br/><br/>a ''My dear Miss Pataschke: We went to Mrs. Boekh to a 'spread' last evening and it only needed our 'Virginia ' to make it quite perfect and like old times but I must say that the rest of the crowd were the smokers.

We had determined to write you then & there a composite letter before breaking up but we were so full of guzzle that we weren 't able to see to write. I told Miss Paul of your proposition and she is leaving W. tonight until the New Year & said Miss Lucy<br/>Burns would take it up with you. Miss B. said she would write you at once but I have my doubts she'll forget it. Thanking you again for the nice things and I hope will see you soon. Cordially yours Ann Burnett Dabney". Alice Paul and Lucy Burns were the founders and leaders of the Congressional Union.<br/><br/>c "Thursday 8.00 pm around late at headquarters.

‎Women Suffrage Postcard Archive‎

‎Collection of 4 original Suffrage Postcards c. 1900s-1910s‎

‎An attractive collection of 4 rare souvenir postcards from the UK France and US supporting women's suffrage. Featuring the postcard artwork of famed commercial artists the archive is both visually enthralling and historically fascinating; demonstrating the attempts of proponents of the movement to define and popularize a relatable sympathetic image of the suffragette. The golden age of the souvenir postcard from 1898 to 1915 during which time postcard collecting was an international past time dovetailed conveniently with the suffrage movement in America and Britain. 2 cards with original postal stamp 1909 and 1911. Souvenir postcards were the most popular form of suffrage ephemera among the suffragists themselves. Also included are two compelling British postcards from a noted 1910 pro-suffrage series "This is the House that Man Built" based upon the nursery rhyme "This is the House that Jack Built" in which the "House" refers to the Houses of Parliament. The series was answered by a similar series published by the opposition to the movement demonstrating the more boldly political nature of the suffrage postcard in Britain. French postcard calling for universal suffrage shows a man and woman in Greek togas casting ballots: in French "Women who are subject to the laws and pay taxes as well as men should have the same right to vote as they". 1 interesting American postcard shows a woman driving a car years before women's suffrage passed at the federal level. The archive includes both blank and posted cards all in generally very good condition. An essential and rare collection of one of the most enduring attractive artifacts of the struggle for women's rights. unknown books‎

‎Women Travelers Hall Adelia M.‎

‎Pair of diaries documenting a woman's voyages from her home in Baltimore to missions in Africa the West Indies and Cuba‎

‎Africa; U.S.; at sea 1871. Mismatched pair of full sheep pocket diaries from 1870 and 1871 with entries in a single hand from Adelia M. Hall during her voyages around the world. Comprised of 180 manuscript pages 134 in the first diary and 46 in the second and including loose items in the pocket of the first diary an Autograph Letter Signed from Julia de Gregg mistress of an Orphan Asylum in Cape Palmas regarding Adelia's departure and their friendship and four small newspaper clippings with information on the departure of the ship Golconda and books coming up for sale. Adelia wife of George W.S. Hall belonged to a family deeply involved in the American Colonization Society and the Maryland State Colonization Society -- both designed to resettle freedpeople to Africa before and after emancipation. The diaries reveal that she is most curious about observing the native cultures where she travels when allowed to and that she connects in personal ways to those who are orphaned or disadvantaged. They provide an opportunity to see a privileged woman at times wrestle and at other times be ignorant of her privilege; and to consider how women's health often hindered by fashion or social expectation could limit even the most adventurous women. Accompanied by her husband and several small children Adelia traveled to reaches of the world most white American women would never have the opportunity to see. The first diary begins on New Year's Day of 1870 a day which Adelia spent aboard the ship Golconda with her Aunt and Uncle Fisk before their departure. Adelia's father-in-law Dr. James Hall was agent of the ship that occasionally brought cargo between the U.S. and Liberia but more frequently served as a packet for bringing missionaries and freedpeople to and from between the continents African Repository & Journal. Adelia herself would depart two days later to Sierra Leone aboard the brig Maggie. Both the diary and an accompanying two page ALS document her time in Cape Palmas where she and her small daughter Juliet visit the missionaries' Orphan Asylum bestowing gifts of clothing and dolls and receiving plant cuttings. In the letter schoolmistress Julia deB Gregg writes with warmth -- showing her gratitude to Adelia as a benefactress and as a reminder of home: "As you signify - these few days' intercourse in this foreign land has brought us very near together and leaves with me the same impression of friendship & affection you so lovingly express." Adelia's diary expands upon this. The women first met on Sunday February 27 and stayed in almost daily contact until Adelia's departure Saturday March 12. Her entries mention visits to the little girls lunches and teas and the exchanges of gifts and stories. While Miss Gregg and the other teachers get a hint of home from Adelia she seems to benefit from time with the orphan children mentioning several times that she is separated from several of her own. But Adelia does not limit herself only to the familiar in her travels. Though she often mentions feeling "feverish" feeling weak and having headaches being tired or suffering from "bad dreams" aboard the ship she is also compelled to observe cultures different from her own. In early March she embarks with George reporting that they "met some natives -- who were such barbarians they would neither give us fish or SELL." The uselessness of their money compared to the natives' need to feed their families quite escapes her. At Fishtown she insists on accompanying George on shore asserting that she wants "to see a real native town" despite his concern that she'll attract too much attention. She writes "We have returned!! -alive- but such a day - the natives had never before seen a white woman we were the center of an admiring circle from five hundred to a thousand men women children babies - born and unborn - crowded round and gazed upon us." They continue in this way down the coast until returning in July. And many entries are spent describing food George's bartering to obtain ale milk chicken and other goods and Adelia's collecting of plant samples. Throughout the two diaries Adelia worries about her weak health considering whether she might have malaria. Though no cause of death is noted she did pass away in Nassau two years later in 1873. Her diaries remain behind a rich trove inviting researchers to study women's missionary travel the colonization movement white privilege in travel cross-continental communities of women the politics of bartering and gift exchange and women's health among many other topics. unknown‎
