EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the British suffragette movement, as depicted in a placard outside a newsagents shop advertising the Daily Mirror. The headline "Mr. Asquith Caricatured" refers to the Political Peepshow Cartoons in Model Diorama series, which were on display at the Women's Exhibition organized by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) from May 13th to 26th, 1909. The WSPU, a militant organization fighting for women's right to vote, used various forms of publicity and advertising to raise awareness and generate support for their cause. The Political Peepshow Cartoons in Model Diorama series featured satirical caricatures of then-Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and other political figures, displayed in a miniature diorama setting. The WSPU used these caricatures to criticize the government's inaction on women's suffrage and to provoke public debate. The placard outside the newsagents shop is an important reminder of the creative and bold ways in which the suffragettes used publicity and advertising to further their cause. The image of the placard also offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 20th century and the role of the press in shaping public opinion. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of an important moment in the history of the suffragette movement and women's rights in Britain.
