EDITORS COMMENTS
The Right Dishonourable Double-Face Asquith: A Symbol of Political Turmoil during the British Suffragette Movement (1909) This thought-provoking image, titled "The Right Dishonourable Double-Face Asquith," is a powerful commentary on the political upheaval and social unrest surrounding the women's suffrage movement in Britain during the early 20th century. Prime Minister H.H. Asquith is depicted as a two-faced figure, dressed in the style of the French Revolution, confronting a king. The duality of Asquith's face symbolizes his perceived duplicity and lack of commitment to women's suffrage, despite his position of power. The woman in the foreground, dressed in prison garb and holding a paper bearing the words "Liberty. Equality!", represents the suffragettes and their unwavering pursuit of political rights. Her chained hands and somber expression underscore the harsh realities of their fight for equality and the sacrifices they were willing to make. The year is 1909, a pivotal moment in the suffragette movement, marked by escalating militant tactics and growing public support. This powerful and evocative print serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of the suffragettes, and the enduring impact of their fight for women's rights.
