During the last part of the 19th century and early 20th century, there was not a more important woman on the planet than Mother Jones. She was both feared and respected by the most powerful men and she was involved in social change more than perhaps anyone on the planet. She was a labor leader and activist before either was accepted. She was so important that the "she" in the song "She'll be coming round the mountain" was Mother Jones! In over twenty years of collecting and offering vintage photography, this is the second image of Mother Jones we have ever offered and the first showing her actively participating in a demonstration, and it presents beautifully. A double weight masterpiece in great shape, this dates to 1913 and comes from the archives of Underwood and Underwood as is being offered here for the first time ever.
