EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "District of Columbia - Suffrage Voting For District, 1912," captures a significant moment in American history as women in the District of Columbia were granted the right to vote in local elections, years before the 19th Amendment secured their national suffrage. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a straw vote polling booth set up on a Washington D.C. street. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the era, are seen lining up to cast their votes, demonstrating their active participation in the democratic process. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, was captured by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. Martha Ewing Newcombe, also known as Martha Kuntze, was a prominent figure in the suffrage movement and may have been involved in organizing this event. The polling booth, located on a bustling street, is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, highlighting the importance and excitement of this historic moment. This photograph is an essential part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the communication and political landscape of the United States during the early 20th century. The image serves as a reminder of the hard-fought battle for women's suffrage and the progress made towards equal rights for all.
