Policemen lead a group of suffragists away from City Hall in this view, a detail that sets it apart from the usual street scenes of the period. The record dates it to October 28, 1908, when the campaign for women's suffrage was gaining public attention in New York and demonstrations like this one drew close attention from the press and police. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that documented daily city life. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact occasion is not confirmed.
