[WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE]. A group of press photographs of Suffragettes, including 3 contemporary photographs of the American Suffragette Movement. [New York: Herald Examiner, Associated Press, International News, et al., ca. 1910s-1970s]. Black-and-white press photos, three of which are near-contemporary to the American Suffragette movement. Sizes range from approximately 200 x 255 mm to 168 x 215 mm. Photos generally lightly toned, older photos are worn, with occasional chipping, creasing, most photos with press inkstamps and captions on versos.

The older photos feature a large group of Suffragettes at a large banquet table (photo is chipped at upper edge, no affixed caption on verso); a group of Suffragettes with banners outside a public library in Washington, D.C. (undated caption affixed to verso: “A portion of the army of 400 working women from six states and the District of Columbia, which marched to the White House on Monday afternoon and asked President Wilson to express himself on the suffrage question.” Photo is missing upper right corner with no loss to image of Suffragettes); and a group of Suffragettes paying tribute to the tomb of Susan B. Anthony (caption affixed to verso: “Tribute was paid today, February 15th [1936], to the memory of Susan B. Anthony, leader of the woman suffrage movement, at her statue in the basement of the Capitol.”) Three photos which feature photos of cartoons of the Suffragette movement are later (ca. 1960s-1970s).
