Alarmed Arrested Captured Handled Horror Officials Presence Shock Shocked
EDITORS COMMENTS
Anna Zinkiesen, also known as Mariegold, is seen in this striking photograph from 1927 as she is ushered into the presence of two female officials. The expression on her face is one of shock and horror, as if she cannot believe the turn of events. Dressed in an elegant yet simple flapper dress, Mariegold's youthful beauty and vibrant energy contrast sharply with the stern and serious demeanor of the officials. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of great social and cultural change. Women's roles in society were evolving rapidly, and Mariegold was a symbol of the newfound freedom and independence of the flapper generation. However, this photograph suggests that even in the midst of such progress, traditional power structures still held sway. It is unclear from the image what has led to Mariegold's arrest or detainment. Some reports suggest that she was a suffragette, fighting for women's right to vote, while others claim that she was involved in some sort of scandal. Regardless of the reason, the image is a powerful reminder of the challenges and struggles faced by women during this era. The photograph captures a moment of tension and unease, as Mariegold is manhandled and led away by the officials. The contrast between her youthful vitality and the officials' stern authority is both startling and thought-provoking. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the complex social and political landscape of the 1920s, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality.
