EDITORS COMMENTS
This jigsaw puzzle print transports us back in time to the pivotal year of 1913, during the height of the British suffragette movement's militant campaign for women's right to vote. The image, based on a contemporary print, depicts the iconic scene of the symbolic act of 'forcible feeding' of John Bull, the personification of England, by a group of determined suffragettes. Surrounding John Bull, we find some of the most prominent political figures of the era. Prime Minister H.H. Asquith, flanked by David Lloyd George, Keir Hardie, Reginald McKenna (Home Secretary), John Redmond (Home Ruler), and Christabel Pankhurst, all observe the scene with varying degrees of intrigue, concern, or disapproval. The suffragettes' radical tactics, such as forcible feeding, were employed as a form of protest against the government's refusal to grant women the right to vote. The act involved force-feeding hunger-striking suffragettes through a tube, a painful and humiliating process intended to break their will. This evocative puzzle print offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, allowing us to reflect on the courage and determination of the suffragettes and the political landscape of the time. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of women's suffrage and the significant impact it had on shaping the future of democracy.
