EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a group of determined women engaged in picketing outside a building in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, offers a poignant glimpse into the suffrage movement in America during the early 1900s. The women, dressed in various outfits and carrying banners and signs, stand resolutely on the sidewalk, their faces expressing a mix of determination, defiance, and hope. In the background, tall buildings and houses loom, symbolizing the power structures they are challenging. The contrast between the still, unyielding women and the dynamic urban landscape adds to the image's visual impact. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in the suffrage movement, as women across the country were fighting for the right to vote. The picket line depicted in the image was just one of many tactics used by suffragettes to raise awareness and put pressure on lawmakers to pass the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio in Washington D.C. at the time, and is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, which was founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and for documenting important events in American history. This particular image is a testament to the studio's commitment to capturing the social and political issues of the time.
