EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Suffragettes, 'Votes for Women'" by William Dacres Adams showcases a powerful depiction of the suffrage movement in early 20th century Britain. The colour lithograph captures the essence of these brave women fighting for their right to vote with determination and resilience. The image is taken from Adams' book, A Book of Beggars, published in 1912. It serves as an illustration that juxtaposes the struggles faced by both suffragettes and mendicants (beggars) during this era. This thought-provoking piece highlights the parallel between women seeking political equality and those marginalized individuals relying on charity for survival. The composition portrays a group of suffragettes dressed in their iconic white dresses adorned with sashes proclaiming "Votes for Women". Their unity is palpable as they stand together, demanding recognition and justice. In contrast to their determined stance, a tramp or vagabond can be seen nearby, symbolizing societal neglect towards those less fortunate. This print not only commemorates the fight for women's rights but also sheds light on broader issues of social inequality prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of the courage exhibited by these pioneering suffragettes who paved the way for future generations. Displayed within this private collection, this artwork continues to inspire viewers today through its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
