This 1966 postcard was for Frances Bolton’s final re-election to Congress. She first entered the House in 1940, winning a special election after her husband’s death. Over the next two decades, she followed a wide range of interests, from public health to foreign policy. Bolton’s campaign postcard uses a popular pose—the purposeful stride of a busy legislator—and the iconic backdrop of the Capitol to underscore her long and effective years of service.
