Photographic postcard of the arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst on the charge of obstructing a policeman while on a deputation to the House of Commons. The next day she received a sentence of six weeks in Holloway prison. The deputation to the Commons followed a meeting at Caxton Hall, where the Suffragettes learned that no mention of women's suffrage was to be made in the King's Speech. Mrs. Pankhurst can be seen here carrying a scroll of paper on which was written the resolution of the meeting. She was also limping, following an injury sustained the previous month (at a Devon by-election) in an altercation with Liberal party supporters. (Museum of London)
