EDITORS COMMENTS
Pauline Floyd, a determined and passionate protester, stands before a large American flag bearing the slogan, "The time has come to conquer or submit - for us there is but one choice - we have made it." This evocative image, captured by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, documents Floyd's participation in a political demonstration during a pivotal moment in American history. The backdrop of the photograph is the United States Congressional Library, a fitting location for such a significant display of civic engagement. Floyd's gaze is fixed on the horizon, her expression unwavering and resolute. She is flanked by two other women, Martha Ewing Newcombe and Martha Kuntze, who also hold flags, adding to the visual impact of the scene. This photograph was taken during a period of intense political turmoil in the United States. President Woodrow Wilson, represented by the banner behind the women, was leading the country through World War I, and the nation was deeply divided over issues of war, peace, and civil liberties. Floyd and her companions, with their bold display of support for Wilson's stance, were making a powerful statement about their commitment to the country and its leadership. The black and white image, a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection, is a poignant reminder of the courage and conviction of ordinary Americans during a time of great upheaval. The photograph's enduring power lies in its ability to transport us back to a specific moment in history, allowing us to bear witness to the passion and determination of those who came before us.
