Original – A snapshot of the state of American Women's suffrage in 1915 by Henry Mayer.
Reason
Shows the spread of Women's Suffrage across America in a very engaging way. The poem by Alice Duer Miller adds a fair bit of interest, and this image has been the main illustration on the artist's page since late 2014, albeit in a much lower-quality copy.

Creator
Henry "Hy" Mayer, restored by Adam Cuerden. Does "Hy" really count as a nickname, or is that just like the old Wm as short for William type of traditional abbreviations?
