Audio Slideshow: People Power -BBC/The People’s History Museum

The following images and link are from the BBC’s ‘People Power’ audio slide show. A unique and exclusive perspective on how men and women were given the right to vote, a change in British democracy. These photos capture the sense of ‘time’ perfectly. Clearly displayed as ‘elderly’ photos, expressed through the tone of black and white and signified through the technology and clothing of that time. The photos cry ‘history’, a time of the past and memories. But the photos themselves are what I find more interesting and exciting. The themes in which they represent back up the image. But how the images are expressed and taken are beautiful. They are photos that are expressing a movement, a political change for a gender in a dominant country. The images are polite on the eye. There is not too much going on and events to look view in the photographs but what there is to view is a delightful portrait of people expressing their voices to be heard in a political movement.
