The Suffragette (1912-1915) - Christabel Pankhurst
'An advertising campaign was launched that included the introduction of several colorful art posters that promoted the new paper.' - the introduction of colourful posters to promote the publication was exciting and stood out against the advertising of the time. Perhaps this is something to consider for the practical project. - think about the importance of these colourful posters and how they could be placed in a modern application. How colour has power.
'Through such efforts, the paper in the best of times did reach a circulation of 17,000. However, the Home Office was determined to suppress the paper. On May 2, 1913, the manager of the Victoria Printing Company, which had printed that week’s issue, was arrested. Another publisher was found and another publisher was arrested.' no matter how attuned to society a magazine can be, ultimately
the power lies with the publisher. It was eventually printed by progressive publishers in Glasgow.
