EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of creation as renowned British sculptor Sir Arthur George Walker R.A. (1861-1939) meticulously works on the plaster version of his statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in 1930. The bronze iteration of this iconic work, which stands proudly in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster, was unveiled later that year. Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), a pioneering figure in the women's suffrage movement, is depicted in the statue with an unwavering gaze and clenched fist, symbolizing her unyielding determination and courage. Walker, a respected figure in the art world, expertly shapes the plaster with chisels and files, bringing the future bronze statue to life. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the creative process, showcasing the intricate details of the sculpture and the intense concentration of the artist. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the suffragette movement and the pivotal role Emmeline Pankhurst played in securing women's right to vote. The bronze statue, which was commissioned by the London County Council, was unveiled on March 24, 1930, in the presence of thousands of people. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Emmeline Pankhurst and her unwavering commitment to women's rights. This photograph, with its rich historical context, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of women's suffrage, the suffragette movement, and the art of sculpture.
