Policemen lead a group of suffragettes down the steps of New York's City Hall, a scene that shows how visible the women's suffrage campaign had become in the city. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers. The record dates it to 10/28/08, but the caption data is unverified, so the exact date and the event behind the procession remain uncertain. In those years, New York suffragists held marches, street meetings and petition drives, and pictures like this one document how public that push for the vote had become.
