Columbia, the long-standing female personification of the United States, looks out of this 1920 image with a pointed gaze and a message aimed squarely at the viewer: go vote. The picture is a color halftone reproduction of a painting by the illustrator Haskell Coffin, published in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper in the fall of 1920. That year was the first presidential election after the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote nationwide, so the image speaks to a moment when the electorate was expanding and civic duty was being urged on a broad public.
