EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a group of determined women standing in front of a building, picketing for women's suffrage. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, is a poignant reminder of the struggle for women's right to vote in the United States during the early 20th century. The women in the photograph are dressed in various coats, hats, and dresses, some wearing sashes and sashes as symbols of their cause. They stand in a line, facing the camera with a mix of expressions, from intense focus to smiling determination. The doorway of the building looms behind them, a symbol of the barriers they were trying to break down. The photograph was taken during a significant moment in the women's suffrage movement, as the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was just a few years away from being ratified. The scene outside the building is wet and rainy, adding to the sense of perseverance and resilience of the women. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a well-known photographic studio in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha E. Newcombe (later known as Martha E. Kuntze), was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a popular choice for documenting political events in the nation's capital. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the important role photography played in recording history.
