Women's Suffrage: The Hankinson-Goode Collection'PANKO' - PLAYING CARDS'Panko or Votes for Women. The Great Card Game. Suffragists v. Anti-Suffragists' [complete pack of 48 pictorial playing cards], pictures by E. T. Reed of "Punch", printed in black, red, purple and green, versos with purple on white geometric design, in original card slip case within outer printed box, lacking bottom panel of box only, worn and marked, 97 x 72mm., London, Peter Gurney Ltd., c.1909Footnotes'GAOL! GAOL! GAOL!' – 'PANKO OR VOTES FOR WOMEN': A complete set of the uncommon un-numbered edition. This is generally thought to be an earlier variant of the game, although no firm precedent has been established. It is identical to other variations but printed without the red and green numbers in the opposing corners. A version with the versos in blue rather than purple is also known. The rule sheet for this set (not present) also differs in that it would have had a list of twelve rules and no extended explanation of the points system. It was first advertised in Votes for Women in December 1909 and suffragette and diarist Mary Blathwayt is known to have given a set of Panko to her mother for Christmas that year.
