The Blot on The Escutcheon

The Blot on The Escutcheon

[Image: The focal point on this vertical postcard is an image of an American federal shield (escutcheon) with white stars on a blue background on the top third and red and white vertical stripes on the bottom two-thirds. In the center of the shield is a large, black inkblot with the words "THE BALLOT IS DENIED TO WOMAN" in white font. Below the shield are the words, "The Blot on The Escutcheon." These images and statements are presented on a gold background framed in purple and white which gives the entire image the appearance of a matted print.] Print. Color. 14x9 cm.
