Redesigning Votes for Women.

We were commissioned to create a series of artworks for the Cambridge University Library Exhibition #RisingTide, a new major exhibition sharing the unique stories of women who have studied, taught, worked and lived at @Cambridge_Uni

We were delighted to be given access to the archives, allowing us to re-create a selection of the original posters by H.M. Dallas. Plus a couple of new ones.

"Votes for Women" poster in green text on a tan background, advocating for women's suffrage.

Vintage illustration of a woman holding a newspaper and a sign with text promoting the women's suffrage movement. The sign reads, "Read Our Paper," and large text on the poster says, "Votes for Women," with a price of "1d Weekly." The woman wears a hat, white blouse, and green skirt. The background is a muted orange.

Inspired by the amazing Lisa Jardine, we took her “Behave Badly” Pin badge and gave it a fresh new look, to live on for many years to come.

These designs and illustrations were then applied to products for sale in the Exhibition Shop.
