> > "Photographed in front of Streeter's Store on Washington Street." This was photographed in 1890 ... "Upper Ashuelot: a history of Keene New Hampshire - Business and Industry", (Keene Public Library) pp 540, lists Streeter's as being founded in 1929 on Vernon Street, and moving to Washington Street in 1941.

Hi - Thanks for all of your info! I think that what this means is that whoever wrote that notation on the back of the photo, meant that it was photographed in front of what was then (sometime after 1941...) Streeter's on Wash. St., not that that store was there in 1890 when the photograph was made. Thanks, BJ at KPL

Thanks!   (your explanation was likely obvious to everyone but me :-(

New Zealand, of course, was the first country to give women the right to vote.. in 1893... 20 years before this parade! -- Found in a search. (?)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called New Zealand History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

The date for this one is also 3/3/1913 as indicated on the side of the negative and because it is part of the same series on Women Suffrage Pageant and Procession.

Several of these (though not this one, I guess!) are captioned "3/3/13" corresponding to the Suffrage Parade in Washington, D.C., 3 March 1913, see, for instance, Library of Congress.

Cotinis: It looks like you are probably correct and this is another photo of the March 3, 1913 suffrage march in Washington, D.C. We will update the source data and reload the description.

Actually, the 3/3/13 date does appear on this negative, but it is scratched on at the top, where it is obscured by tree limbs and twigs. (Better viewed in the enlarged version.) History of the Woman Suffrage Procession: www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9803/suffrage.html
