Lot of 9 photographs highlighting key moments and figures in the women's suffrage movement in the United States. Notable images include a photograph of a woman pushing a baby carriage whilst marching in a suffrage parade in New York from May 1912, three women clad in raincoats picketing for President Wilson's support of the proposed "Anthony Amendment" outside or the White House in 1917, and a group of women assembled outside of the summer headquarters of the Congressional Union for Women's Suffrage, Newport, RI, ca 1914. The organization was formed in 1913, and co-leader Alice Paul (1885-1977) is also featured in a full-length photograph, in which she raises a small coupe in front of a banner, credited to Harris & Ewing, ca 1920. Two additional photographs from April 1913 relate to the march on the capitol, in which each state sent two participants, paralleling the number of state senators. In one, Mrs. Stanley McCormick and Mrs. Charles Parker (identified in the negative) stand wearing their sashes and flanking a suffrage banner, while the second, originally captured by W.R. Ross, shows policemen escorting parading suffragists to the Capitol building. The consignor relates that these prints were produced from the original negatives, ca mid-20th century, and acquired directly from a former employee of the Library of Congress, who worked with the institution in the 1960s.
