poster, reverse, showing notes. On the front, Susan B Anthony receiving roses from children, signed and dated by Susan B Anthony, 1902. This popular image captures the oil portrait of Susan B Anthony by Sarah James Eddy. At a celebration of her 80th birthday, eighty girls and boys crossed the stage, each presenting Susan B Anthony with a yellow rose. Eddy determined to capture the tribute in oil and asked Anthony to come to her studio to sit for the painting after the fact. The original painting is in the permanent collection at the University or Rochester. (National Susan B Anthony Museum & House Collection.)
