EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage Banner, 1917," captures a significant moment in American history as women's rights activists gathered to demonstrate for their cause. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of women and men standing outside, holding a large suffrage banner aloft. The banner, adorned with the words "Votes for Women," is attached to a fence or gate, perhaps the entrance to a building or a congressional library. The activists, dressed in various outfits, appear determined and focused, their expressions conveying a sense of urgency and resolve. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when the suffrage movement was gaining momentum in the United States. The suffragists, both men and women, were advocating for women's right to vote, a cause that had been a long-standing issue in American politics. The image is a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of these activists, who braved public scrutiny and opposition to fight for their rights. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a popular choice for documenting political events and social issues. This particular image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable archive of American history. The photograph's composition is striking, with the banner serving as a focal point and the activists arranged in a way that emphasizes the collective nature of their cause. The image is a testament to the power of peaceful protest and the enduring spirit of those who fought for women's suffrage in the United States.
