Postcard Series : This is the house that man built. [Circa 1909]

Part of a series of six anti-suffrage postcards, labeled Series No. E. 19, based on the children's rhyme, "This is the house that Jack built." All but one of the cards refers to the British Houses of Parliament.

This card may be referring to referring to an attack by Emmeline Pankhurst on the windows of No 10 Downing Street on March 1, 1910.

Nursery rhymes

London : B.B. London

And this is the Suffragette lady of note
Who once used a brick for recording her vote,
Who one fine day went with the fullest intent;
To show the Prime Minister business was meant,
But the bold Suffragette
Thro' the window can't get;
Into the house that man built.
