Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative photograph capturing a pivotal moment in American history. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image shows a group of determined women and children picketing on the sidewalk, holding banners and flags that read "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." The scene is set on a bustling city street, with cars and motorcars passing by, adding to the sense of energy and urgency. The photograph was taken during a critical period in the women's suffrage movement, which sought to secure the right to vote for women in the United States. The women in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, are not deterred by the rain or the passing traffic. Their unwavering commitment and resolve are palpable, as they stand together, united in their cause. The photograph was taken by George William Harris and Martha Ewing, who were the husband-and-wife team behind Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a leading supplier of photographs to newspapers and magazines in Washington D.C. This particular photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which contains over 20,000 glass negatives and is an invaluable resource for historians and researchers. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the women's suffrage movement and the significant impact it had on American politics and society. The photograph also serves as a testament to the power of peaceful protest and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
