This surveillance photograph of the Suffragette prisoner Florence Jane Short, known by the names Jane Short or Rachel Peace was one in a series of covert images of 'dangerous Suffragettes' taken by an undercover photographer commissioned by the Home Office. It is likely this image was, one of many, taken by a photographer concealed in a van in the yard of Holloway prison and taken when Short was on remand in Holloway awaiting trial for arson in 1913. During this time she undertook hunger-strike and was brutally force-fed. The image refers to Jane's alias Rachel Peace used when arrested for Suffragette militancy.
