EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a group of determined women engaged in picketing for women's suffrage outside the White House in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio during the early 20th century, offers a powerful glimpse into the political activism of the 1910s in America. The women in the photograph are dressed in simple yet bold clothing, many wearing sashes in the colors of the suffrage movement. They stand in a line, holding banners and flags, their faces expressing a range of emotions from defiance to focus. The picket fence in the foreground adds a visual contrast to the dynamic scene, emphasizing the women's quiet yet persistent protest. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for their right to vote. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable heritage art resource that documents the social, political, and cultural history of America during the 20th century. The photographers, George H. Harris and Martha Ewing, were prominent figures in the photographic industry during this period. George William Harris founded Harris Ewing Inc., a successful photographic studio in Washington D.C., while Martha Ewing Newcombe continued the family legacy after her husband's death. Their work, including this powerful image, remains an important contribution to the historical record of the woman suffrage movement in America.
