'The Summit at Last'
An engraving from the New Zealand Graphic, 21 July 1894, depicts a woman holding a flag that reads: 'Perfect Political Equality'. A man is helping her up to what is labelled the 'Parliamentary Heights'. Visible in the background is a mountain labelled '1893' (the year New Zealand women gained the vote).
