Item Description
1.25" w/A.R. Lopez Boston, MA back paper. Name in banner below sepia toned portrait flanked by "1818" and "1893" her birth and death years. Crazing throughout visible under magnification in reflected light. Otherwise moderate surface wear. Fine. Produced to advertise Stone's suffrage newspaper Woman's Journal likely in 1918 celebrating the century mark of her birth. By then the paper had been purchased by Carrie Chapman Catt's Leslie Woman Suffrage Commission and renamed The Woman Citizen but continued to carry "The Woman's Journal Founded 1870" in the mast head as a celebration of the publications deep suffrage roots. Only the fourth we've seen in our 54 years.
