1914 Double weight photograph of a suffragette named Mary Blomfield as she was drug away from the King and Queen by three police officers who ushered her to jail. The back paper caption notes that the police were tired of the ladies' antics and were no longer going to use "kid gloves" with them and would begin to treat them like any other criminal. A powerful work of social justice history, this is being offered here for the first time ever!
