Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful photograph capturing a pivotal moment in American history, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing. The image depicts a group of determined women, standing in front of the entrance to the Library of Congress on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C., picketing for women's suffrage. The women, dressed in various outfits, hold banners and flags bearing slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." Some women are seen leaning over a fence or gate, while others stand at attention, their expressions radiating a sense of resolve and unwavering commitment. The photograph was taken during a significant period in the women's suffrage movement, which sought to grant women the right to vote in the United States. The scene outside the Library of Congress was a common sight during the early 1910s, as women's suffrage activists regularly picketed the building to bring attention to their cause. The photograph, taken as a glass negative, is a testament to the perseverance and courage of the women who fought for their rights. It serves as a reminder of the political and social climate of the time and the impact that grassroots activism can have on shaping the course of history. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives and is now housed in the Library of Congress. The photograph was taken by George H. Harris, who co-founded the Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio with his wife, Martha Ewing, in 1896. The studio became a prominent fixture in Washington D.C., providing photographic services to various clients, including political figures and news organizations. The photograph "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" is a poignant reminder of the studio's rich historical legacy and its role in documenting pivotal moments in American history.
