This picture records a poster reading simply "Vote," issued under the League of Women Voters, preserved here as a photograph of the design. Its record dates it tentatively to the early 1920s and tags it as an allegory on women and politics. The timing fits the League's founding in 1920, just after the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the vote that August. Posters like this one were a common way to reach those new voters, and the allegorical style suggests a civic appeal rather than a partisan one.
