ROBERTS (ALICE)Illuminated printed address signed by Emmeline Pankhurst ('Emmeline Pankhurst'), presented to Alice Roberts 'On Behalf of all Women who will win freedom by the bondage which you have endured for their sake, and dignity by the humiliation which you have gladly suffered for the uplifting of our sex, We, the Members of the Women's Social and Political Union, herewith express our deep sense of admiration for our courage in enduring a long period of privation and solitary confinement in prison for the 'Votes for Women' Cause...', beneath large chromolithographed Angel of Freedom vignette, within a purple, green and gilt foliate border incorporating the portcullis and prisoner's arrow motif, calligraphic name of recipient, one leaf, dust-staining, some repaired tears, loss to upper edge, top right corner and lower left corner, framed and glazed, address c.445 x 310mm., with frame 680 x 505mm., unexamined out of frame, [September 1908 onwards]Footnotes:These illuminated addresses were designed by Sylvia Pankhurst to incorporate the purple, green and white colours that the WPSU had adopted in June 1908 and were presented to ex-prisoners who had suffered for the cause. The 'Angel of Freedom' device was a strong 'brand' logo also used on other WPSU artefacts such as the tea-set and medallion included in this sale. From April 1909, the meeting of the International Women's Suffrage Alliance, the addresses were accompanied by a Holloway Brooch (not present).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 279
SUFFRAGETTE TEA SERVICEComplete tea service designed by Sylvia Pankhurst, decorated with the badge of the Women's Social and Political Union printed in green and washed in purple, a trumpeting angel under the banner 'FREEDOM' and the initials 'WSPU', the rims and angular handles also picked out in green enamel, comprising a teapot and cover, six cups, six saucers, six small plates, a cake plate, a sucrier and a milk jug, teapot 14.2cm high, printed marks for H M Williamson and Sons of Longton, c.1909 (23)Footnotes:A RARE COMPLETE SUFFRAGETTE TEA SET DESIGNED BY SYLVIA PANKHURST WITH FINE PROVENANCE.No firm produced pottery and porcelain in support of the women's suffrage movement commercially, so pieces such as this service were commissioned by the movement itself. In early 1909 the WSPU commissioned Williamson's of Longton, Staffordshire to produce wares for use in the refreshment room at the Prince's Skating Rink Exhibition held in Knightsbridge for two weeks in May 1909. Each piece bears Sylvia Pankhurst's 'Angel of Freedom' in the WSPU colours, a motif designed specifically for the exhibition. After the exhibition the china was sold off in sets of 22 pieces to raise funds for the cause. Votes for Women of 13 May 1910 noted that some was still available to purchase; 'a breakfast set for two, 11s; small tea set, 15s; whole tea set £1; or pieces may be had singly' (Crawford, Elizabeth, The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999, p.108). The motif also appears on many other items such as the illuminated addresses awarded to prisoners, badges and the medallion also included in this sale. Christabel Pankhurst wrote of the opportunity that the exhibition afforded for supporters to purchase a wide variety of items in the WSPU colours and thus spread the message through merchandising: 'every member of the Union will become an advertiser for the movement, and will bring to the Prince's Skating Rink a dozen, or a score, or an even larger number men and women of her acquaintance who... will appreciate for the first time the strength of the woman's movement' (Crawford, p.137).Provenance: A letter included in the lot from the daughter of the original owner, describes how the tea set was originally purchased c.1913 by her mother Lily Kerran, an ardent supporter of women's suffrage, socialist and free thinker. Lily's husband Ferdinand Louis Kerran (1883-1949) was a prominent activist in the British Socialist Party and, from 1920, a member of the executive of the new Communist Party of Great Britain. He had a successful photography business in Bexleyheath with his brother Frederick, who produced postcards, and became an semi-official photographer of WSPU members and events. During the first war he was interned in the Islington workhouse from whence he escaped to New York, rearrested and returned to Brixton prison. As a leading member of the communist party he worked along former suffragettes such as Sylvia Pankhurst, who wrote to his wife on his death in 1949. The tea set was then offered by descendants of the Kerran family at Christie's South Kensington on 10 March 1995 and purchased by the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ALBUM – CONSTANCE MARSDENAutograph album of photographer Constance B. J. Marsden of Redcliffe Gardens, South Kensington, containing some 35 signatures and quotations including Christabel Pankhurst ('Aspirations are proportional to destinies'), Emmeline Pankhurst ('Votes for Women'), Emily Wilding Davison ('Deeds, not Words... March 30th 1909 1 month. Holloway./ July 30th 1909 2 months Holloway (Hunger-Strike)/ Sept. 4th 1909 2 months Strangeways... Oct 20th 1909 1 month (hard) Strangeways (2 Hunger-Strike & Hosepipe)'), Flora Drummond ('...I am writing in honour of one of the best 'Votes for Women' paper sellers...'), Constance Lytton and her alias Jane Warton, Charlotte Despard, Annie Ainsworth, Frederick William Pethick Lawrence, Marion Wallace-Dunlop, Ethel Smyth (musical quotation 'We have waited so long, we will wait now no more' dated June 1913), Catherine Emily Perie ('nurse to Mrs Pankhurst'), Mildred J. Marsden, Emmeline Pethick Lawrence, Laura Ainsworth ('Ride on to Victory'), green calf, worn, 4to (165 x 198mm.), 1908 to 1913Footnotes:'ONE OF THE BEST 'VOTES FOR WOMEN' PAPER SELLERS': The album of a WSPU photographer and activist.Constance Marsden's album reads like a 'Who's Who' of the suffrage movement. She was a member of the WSPU and photographed Emmeline Pankhurst in August/September 1913. The portrait was subsequently accepted by the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain for an exhibition at the Royal Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street (Crawford, Elizabeth, The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999, p.548). The entry in the album from Flora Drummond dated July 1910 makes reference to her considerable paper-selling skills on behalf of the cause. In the summer of 1910, she came third in a sales competition run by the WPSU for individually selling 1,448 copies of Votes for Women in a three month period, behind Miss McKenzie of Scarborough (1,797) and Mrs Axed of North Kensington (1,652) (pigott-gorrie.blogspot.com). One of nine siblings, her sister Sybil (a dressmaker trading under the name Madame Mantalini) is known to have shown her suffragist affiliations by making an anti-government statement on her census form of 1911. Her father, Algernon Moses Marsden, was a fine art dealer whose artists included James Tissot, who painted him in 1877, but, by the turn of the century, had been declared bankrupt several times (womanandhersphere.com suffrage-stories blog).As well as containing the signatures of Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, other contributors to this album include the suffragette martyr, Emily Wilding Davison, and illustrator Marion Wallace-Dunlop, who is credited with being the first to initiate the hunger strike as a means of retaliation. According to Votes for Women, Ethel Smyth's March of the Women with words by Cicely Hamilton was 'at once a hymn and a call to battle'. Also represented is Lady Constance Bulwer-Lytton (known as Constance Lytton), the author of Prisons and Prisoners who signs her alias 'Jane Warton' beneath her own name. Not wishing for preferential treatment due to her social status, she disguised herself, cut her hair and used an alias, taking on the character of 'an ugly London seamstress'. Subsequently, when arrested she suffered the same harsh treatment accorded to other prisoners and was repeatedly force fed, leading to a heart attack and several strokes (her book, a copy of which is offered in the present sale, was written with her left hand). Her extremism went as far as carving 'V' for Votes for Women on her chest whilst in prison using a needle and broken hatpin.Provenance: The Rev. Frederick Hankinson (1875-1960); Reginald Andrew Couzens (b.1904); thence by descent to the present owner.Suffragettes: The Hankinson-Goode Collection (lots 52-110) This remarkable collection of suffragette ephemera was assembled by the current owners' late parents, Myrna and Philip Goode, who inherited and then built on the collection bequeathed to them by the Rev. Frederick Hankinson (see lot 72). As the owners recall: 'Our Great Grandmother took her adopted son, my grandfather, to one of the Rev. Hankinson's churches and that this is how they met. My grandfather, Reginald Andrew Couzens, was born in 1904 and 'Hank' reputedly looked upon him as a surrogate son. My grandfather stayed close to Hank all his life. He did his accounts, cut his hair and various other things, right up until Hank died. My grandmother used to boast about the time that, through Hank, Lord and Lady Pethick Lawrence came to tea. With both our grandparents coming from very ordinary and relatively poor families, it was a huge honour to have gentry in their home. 'When Hank died in 1960, it was discovered that he had left his entire estate to our grandfather. They found Hank's papers and the autograph albums and were fascinated by them. At the time, they were worth very little, and there was little interest in the Suffrage movement, but our parents thought they were important historically. Now, we are amazed at their foresight. The whole lot could easily have ended up being thrown away. The documents were packed into boxes and stored in our grandparents' loft, unsorted, until our grandfather died. My grandmother then gave them to our parents, who began to go through and research them. 'Our parents became more and more interested in the subject and started collecting bits and pieces they came across, which in the 60s and 70s were still cheap to buy. We would go to any postcard fair we came across locally and on holiday, and search through for Suffragette postcards. It was on one of these jaunts in Norfolk that the window-smashers set was discovered. It seems hard to believe, but at that time a lot of the sellers didn't really know who or what Suffragettes were. 'As time went on and material became much better-known and sought-after, our parents decided to invest in some lots that would enhance the collection. They bought the Emily Wilding Davison and Duval collections at auction, the Suffragette newspapers and so on. They wanted their collection to be useful as well as giving them pleasure, and so they put on several exhibitions using their material, and shared documents with researchers, students and museums, including the Museum of London. They gave talks in schools and for societies in the area as well. Although the time has come to place the care of the collection in other hands, Hankinson remains an important part of our family's history and his legacy has had a huge and positive impact on all of us'.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DUVAL (EMILY)Illuminated printed address signed by Emmeline Pankhurst ('E. Pankhurst') and bearing the stamped signature of Emmeline Pethick Lawrence ('E. Pethick Lawrence'), presented to Emily Duval 'On Behalf of all Women who will win freedom by the bondage which you have endured for their sake, and dignity by the humiliation which you have gladly suffered for the uplifting of our sex, We, the Members of the Women's Social and Political Union, herewith express our deep sense of admiration for our courage in enduring a long period of privation and solitary confinement in prison for the 'Votes for Women' Cause...', beneath large chromolithographed Angel of Freedom vignette, within a purple, green and gilt foliate border incorporating the portcullis and prisoner's arrow motif, calligraphic name of recipient, one leaf, light dust-staining, framed and glazed, address 467 x 310mm., with frame 680 x 505mm., unexamined out of frame, [September 1908 onwards]Footnotes:These illuminated addresses were designed by Sylvia Pankhurst to incorporate the purple, green and white colours that the WPSU had adopted in June 1908 and were presented to ex-prisoners who had suffered for the cause. The 'Angel of Freedom' device was a strong 'brand' logo also used on other WPSU artefacts such as the tea-set and medallion included in this sale. From April 1909, the meeting of the International Women's Suffrage Alliance, the addresses were accompanied by a Holloway Brooch (not present).Emily Duval (1861-1924), was a militant member of first the WSPU and then the Women's Freedom League for whom she was a member of its national executive and chairman of the Battersea branch (Crawford, E. The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999). In November 1907 she took part in the WFL campaign of protesting in police courts when women were in the dock and spent one month in prison in January 1908 after taking part in a deputation to Asquith's home. She was arrested eight times between 1908 and 1911, spending six weeks in Holloway from February 1909 and earning a mention in Constance Lytton's Prison and Prisoners. Finding the WFL insufficiently militant, she rejoined the WSPU in November 1911, whereupon she took part in window smashing and other activities, resulting in several further episodes in prison. In March 1912 she took part in a hunger strike, was forcibly fed and then released to a nursing home. She continued to be an active supporter of women's suffrage throughout the First War and of her six children, four of her daughters went to prison for the cause, although three did not live long enough to vote themselves.Provenance: Sotheby's, 15 December 1987, lot 244.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
