Description
“There is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.”
—Alice Paul
This oversized postcard is a reproduction (offset printed, NOT letterpress) of our Prop Cake broadside, created because we think everyone deserves an equal slice of wedding cake. The large letterpress poster is now sold out, but this postcard faithfully reproduces the hand-lettered typography and hand-drawn illustrations of the original.
The wedding cake illustration is inspired by the architecture of San Francisco, epicenter of the battle over Proposition 8 and the triumph of marriage equality in California.
You can find all available postcard designs in the postcards section of the shop.
Postcard size: 5 x 8 inches
PLEASE NOTE: these oversized postcards require extra postage for mailing.
PAPER FINISH: this postcard is made from paper with a smooth, eggshell finish. If you write on it, we recommend using either a ballpoint pen or some form of permanent, smear-proof ink.
Colophon reads:
Alice Stokes Paul (1885-1977) continued the work of the suffragists, and helped form the National Woman’s Party to demand equal rights. The NWP engaged in militant demonstrations and the first picketing of the White House; these “Silent Sentinels” were mobbed and imprisoned, then force-fed while attempting a hunger strike. Public and media support for their cause grew and by 1920, women secured the vote. Alice Paul continued to work on their behalf, writing the original Equal Rights Amendment in 1923.
