EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, dated 1914, showcases an intriguing moment in history as suffragettes gather in the high street of Hastings to advertise a speech by Emmeline Pankhurst at the Royal Concert Hall in St. Leonards. The German Peril, a topic of great concern during the early stages of the First World War, is the subject of her address. The image captures the determination and resolve of these women, who stand confidently in the street, holding sandwich boards aloft, their faces set with focus and conviction. The shopfronts and barrances of the shops in the background add depth and context to the scene, offering a glimpse into the bustling commercial district of the town. The slide, numbered 56, is part of Box 285 in the Bygones collection, created by AHT Boswell. It bears the signature of the photographer, AHT Boswell, adding an additional layer of historical significance to the image. The slide is a testament to the courage and activism of the suffragettes, who fought for women's rights and played a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of the early 20th century. This unique and captivating image offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of great change and upheaval. It serves as a reminder of the power of activism and the enduring impact of those who dare to challenge the status quo.
