Woman Suffrage New York 1915

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/8/2023

Five Printed paper water cup, 4-1/2" x 4" x 3" opening, with encouraging slogan, "Votes for Women: 1915. Drink to the Success of the Empire State Campaign. Headquarters, 303 5th Ave New York".This paper cup, printed for the ultimately unsuccessful 1915 campaign to add a women's suffrage amendment to the New York State constitution, exhorts its bearers to "Drink to the Success" of this effort to gain the vote for women. It is illustrated with a striking image of a rising sun bearing the year of the campaign. Thanks to the political will this campaign helped to foster, New York granted women the right to vote just two years later, in 1917.
