My absolute favourite early film posters showcasing the spectacular Nazimova. Imagine the blaze of colour outside the local cinema on a grey dull day. Sublime 😊

Powerful images of Black Friday (18 November 1910) Suffragettes surrounded by leering men. Mrs Massy and Mrs Wilcock/Willcox struggle with police. Multiple Women reported sexual assaults by plain clothes Police. The media urged to suppress images of the event.
