EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, London 1914. In the midst of the suffragette movement, a brave woman takes a stand against societal norms by attacking a painting at the National Gallery. The artwork in question is Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez's renowned masterpiece called "Diego Velasquez" painted between 1599 and 1660. The image showcases both the determination of this suffragette and her commitment to fighting for women's rights. With an engraving tool in hand, she defies authority and challenges the status quo through an act of defiance that symbolizes her fight for political equality. This photograph serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by women during this era, highlighting their relentless pursuit of freedom of expression and emancipation from traditional gender roles. It also sheds light on England's turbulent political climate at the time. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captured this historic moment with his lens, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only this courageous suffragette but also pays homage to all those who fought tirelessly for equal rights throughout British history. As we gaze upon this image today, let us remember the sacrifices made by these trailblazing women who paved the way towards progress and continue to inspire us in our ongoing quest for equality.
