EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of the Suffrage Week held by the Croydon Branch of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) in November 1909. The week was marked by a series of events, culminating in a two-day fundraising sale on the 10th and 11th of November. The sale, which was opened by Miss Alice Abadam, the then president of the Beckenham Branch of the London Society, was held to raise funds for the suffrage cause. The walls of the venue are adorned with banners, lent to the branch for their upcoming procession on the 9th of November. These banners bear the images and names of prominent suffragettes such as Lucy Stone and Jenny Lind, both portrayed by Mary Lowndes. The red and white color scheme of the sale reflects the colors of the suffrage movement, symbolizing courage and hope. The determination and resolve of the suffragettes are palpable in this photograph, as they worked tirelessly towards their goal of securing women's right to vote.
