Early Suffragette Ribbon with an Allegorical Figure Standing

About the Item

EARLY SUFFRAGETTE RIBBON WITH AN ALLEGORICAL FIGURE STANDING UPON THE U.S. CONSTITUTION BEFORE A LION AND LAMB, WITH A HOST OF GREAT SLOGANS OF THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENT: Printed in blue on light pink silk satin, this great Suffrage Movement ribbon bears both great graphics and slogans. An allegorical figure that blends both Lady Liberty and Lady Justice, stands upon a book entitled "U.S. Constitution" with the sub-title or volume title "Equality of Sex." In one hand she holds a staff with a dove-shaped finial, to which is affixed a version of the Stars & Stripes with a single star in the canton and the letters "US" below. Text in the stripe field reads "We Learn The Art of Peace." Before her are the proverbial lion and lamb, laying down together. About her is a streamer with text that reads "Everlasting Peace of States and Nations." Arched above her are the words "Love and Purity" and above this is a 5-pointed star with letters inside that spell the word "white" and outside that spell "Peace". This is encircled by the words "Equality of Sex and Suffrage." This ribbon is thought to date to 1880's and the roots of the Suffrage movement in America. It is one of two known examples, the other of which is printed on yellow. Mounting: The gilded American molding has an unusual rippled profile and dates to the period between 1830 and 1850. The ribbon has been hand-stitched to 100% cotton, black in color, which has been washed to reduce excess dye. An acid-free agent was added to the wash to further set the dye and the fabric was heat-treated for the same purpose. Spacers keep the textile away from the glazing, which is U.V. protective glass. Condition: The printing is a bit light, but it presents well, is very legible, and there are no serious condition issues. Frame Size (H x L): 10.5" x 7.5" Flag Size (H x L): 5.75" x 2.5"
