A cartoon illustration by Alfred Chantrey Courbold (1852-1920) of suffragettes swimming towards a flotilla of toy boats. Behind them are large Votes for Women banners whilst pro-suffrage leaflets rain down from a hot air balloon in the sky.

She missed her target but released 6lbs of Womens Freedom League leaflets in the skies over London. 1909, original artwork by Alfred Chantrey Courbold.182.In the source column, put Bernard Partidge after Sie Edward Burne-Jones rather than re-work.
