About this objectUnused postcard featuring an unattractive depiction a woman (shoulders up) wearing a bonnet and high-necked striped shirt. The card is captioned 'Prosit Neujahr!' [Happy New Year!] and includes a typed verse in German at right-angles on the left side, as follows: 'Raus mit dem Frauenstimmrecht!
