About This Design

Vintage British Suffragette Cat and Mouse Act Poster

Vintage British Suffragette Cat and Mouse Act Poster

The Cat and Mouse Act was the nickname for the Prisoner's Temporary Discharge of Ill Health Act introduced by the British Government in their fight against the introduction of votes for women. Suffragettes who found themselves in prison for destroying public and private property to highlight their cause went on hunger strike. As soon as they fell sick as a result of their starvation, the women were set free only to be arrested again and sent back to jail to complete their sentence, thus the cat and mouse nickname for the legislation. This is my restored version of the original 1913 postcard produced by the Women's Social & Political Union (WSPU) showing a woman trapped in the jaws of a predatory cat. The wording on the poster reads: ‘The Cat and Mouse Act Passed by the Liberal Government - The Liberal Cat - Electors Vote Against Him! Keep the Liberal out! Buy and read The Suffragette. Price 1d.’ I've added a black border to the poster but you can easily change this to suit by using the customise button. The poster would be perfect for feminists and cat lovers, of course!

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
