Portrait bust of Emmeline Pankhurst. This bronze was cast in the 1950s from a plaster made in Holloway Prison in 1912 by Alice Morgan Wright. Wright shared a prison cell with Emmeline Pankhurst and modelled the bust with plastoline she had smuggled in to the prison. In the 1950s, Wright described the 'fun' she had in employing a bronze-caster who 'was very much entertained by the order because he used to be a bobby [policeman] in the old days and used to arrest suffragettes'.
