EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the suffragette protest at the 1913 Epsom Derby. As the horses thundered around Tattenham Corner, amidst the excitement and cheers of the crowd, one woman stood out in her suffragette colors. Emily Wilding Davison, an English militant suffragette, fearlessly darted under the rails to grasp at the reins of King George V's horse. In a tragic turn of events, her brave act caused both herself and the horse to fall. This daring act of civil disobedience ultimately led to Davison's untimely death. The image serves as a poignant reminder of her sacrifice for women's rights and equality. The photograph not only highlights Davison's unwavering determination but also sheds light on broader social issues surrounding gender inequality and political activism during that era. It symbolizes the struggle faced by countless women who fought tirelessly for their right to vote. As we reflect upon this historic moment captured on film, it is impossible not to be moved by Davison's bravery and dedication to her cause. Her actions continue to inspire generations of reformers and activists worldwide. This print from TopFoto serves as a testament to those who have fought for human rights throughout history while reminding us that progress often comes at great personal cost.
