1915 Suffrage Poster | "The Awakening" by Henry Mayer | Puck Magazine Art

When the Sun Rose in the West: Henry Mayer’s "The Awakening."

Capture a pivotal moment in the fight for equality with this meticulously restored reproduction of "The Awakening." Originally published in the February 20, 1915, edition of Puck magazine, this illustration remains one of the most powerful symbols of the American Suffrage movement.

The Vision:
The artwork depicts a towering, torch-bearing woman clad in golden robes, labeled "Votes for Women." She strides across the map of the United States, stepping from the Western states—where women had already won the right to vote—toward the dark, shadowed East. Below her, a sea of women reach out from the darkness, yearning for the light of political representation.

The Poetry:
Accompanying the illustration is the moving poetry of Alice Duer Miller, a key literary voice of the movement. This print is a testament to the courage and solidarity of the suffragists and serves as a beautiful reminder of the long road to the 19th Amendment. Perfect for historians, activists, and lovers of vintage political art.
