Printed Ephemera — 1907
Suffragettes chalking a pavement
Emma Sproson (left) and a fellow suffragette chalking the pavement, 1907. Pavement chalking was regarded as one of the most effective means of advertising meetings. As suffragettes wrote with the purple, white and green chalk a crowd assembled to 'watch the announcement...develop under the hand of the chalker'. Suffragettes who volunteered for 'chalking parties' were advised to go in twos or threes.
