[Feminism and Women's Rights] D. C. Johnston. Scraps No. 1. Boston: D. C. Johnston, 1849. Large format, 10 ¾ x 13 ½ in. Four large plates with several smaller engravings relating to social and political topics. Plate 2 contains five engravings related to Women's Rights; the images are satirical and show women behaving in very "unladylike" ways, such as competing in public boxing matches, smoking in public, and treating men as second-class citizens. Very good condition. A very rare and interesting collection of cartoons, exploring popular fears and anxieties around the growing women's rights movement.
