The Release of the Suffragette Mary Philips from Holloway Prison, 18th September 1908
The release of the Suffragette Mary Philips from Holloway Prison, 18th September 1908. Here Glasgow born Mary is depicted being dressed in a tartan sash in preparation for her 'release' reception. Mary Phillips had been sent to Holloway prison for obstructing the police in Parliament Square on 30th June 1908. On her release the Suffragette organiser was greeted by a group of Suffragettes, led by Flora Drummond, attired in full Scottish regalia and accompanied by pipers. She and her parents (seen in the photograph) were transported in a carriage from Holloway Prison to a reception at Queen's Hall.
Note the dating of the photograph added by Nurse Pine's hand is incorrect and refers to the date of Mary's arrest, rather than her release.
