About This Item
Martinsville, IN: Helaine Victoria Enterprises, 1975. Poster. 17.5x23 inch poster, very good, featuring a vintage image of a women's prison and a stanza adapted from the conclusion of the Richard Lovelace poem "To Althea, from Prison." Lower right corner text indicates that the poster was printed on recycled paper (of high quality, we note). Helaine Victoria Press, which took its name from the middle names of founders Jocelyn Helaine Cohen and Nancy Taylor Victoria Poore, published broadsides, posters, and other formats of work, but was best known for its women's history postcard series. It started with an offset press in Santa Monica but switched to an 80-year old cast iron letterpress, noted by Cohen as "the method which was standard when we were trying to get the vote." The press later moved to Indiana, and was ultimately donated to the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, New York, where the letterpress now resides. This poster was issued in several runs, all retaining the copyright date 1975, appearing on different types of paper, and with a Martinsville address after the press left Santa Monica.
