Unbound. Etat : Good. First Edition. Printed tissue, approximately 370mm square, n.d. but 1908. A couple of small closed tears, a couple of tiny holes, but without any loss of sense, spots of foxing, lightly creased, but generally in good order. Printed border, in the suffragette colours, with a central graphic giving the dates, times, and locations, with twenty platforms and eighty speakers being promised, with twenty of the most prominent speakers, including Pethick Lawrence and three of the Pankhursts, given portraits around the outside. This Hyde Park Demonstration on Sunday 21st June, 1908, the WSPU's first 'monster meeting', (Atkinson, 'The Purple, White & Green', page 16), also known as 'Women's Sunday', to 'demand the enfranchisement of women', was organised by Emmeline Pankhurst and Mrs Pethick Lawrence, with the Lawrences apparently spending £5000 organising and publicising the event (Mitchell, 'Queen Christabel', page 124). There were some thirty thousand marchers, accompanied by bands, setting off from seven different locations, all of which converged on Hyde Park where an estimated half a million attendees eventually coalesced. It was the first time that the new colour scheme of purple (dignity), white (purity), and green (hope), devised by Mrs Lawrence, had been seen in public, and the women were asked to wear white so that the new colours would be shown to their best advantage. The tissue was printed by Mrs S.[arah] Burgess, with the borders pre-printed in Japan, and according to Kenneth Florey, the WSPU had mixed feelings about her producing such unauthorised 'official' programmes but '.they nevertheless pointed it out as an example of "how the movement interests the public". Mrs Burgess' products demonstrated quite clearly how important the concept of a suffrage 'souvenir' or collectable had become to suffrage sympathisers. a tangible memory of a major event.' (Kenneth Florey,'Women's Suffrage Memorabilia: An Illustrated Historical Study', 2013, p.108). Another copy of this tissue made £3840 in 2023 at Bonhams Size: Folio. Tissue.…

The five letters total 8pp. The first three letters are in autograph and the last two typed. The first has two punch holes to the first leaf, the collection is otherwise in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. The correspondence relates to the arranging of a meeting between Milburn and the Secretary of State for War Richard Haldane (1856-1928, later 1st Viscount Haldane), apparently with regard to a complaint by Milburn which has lead to him considering resigning from the position of Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the 2nd East Riding Yorks Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers)'. Royal Army Medical Corps. In the first letter (1 May), on House of Commons letterhead, he writes that he is returning Milburn's 'papers (as they may be useful to you) & reply from the War Office', which Ferens wishes 'had been of a more satisfactory character'. He urges him not to think of retiring, and 'will take the opportunity of discussing the matter with Mr. Haldane as suggested'. On 21 September he tells Milburn that he has sent his letter to Haldane and has 'urged your claim'. On 25 September he informs him that he has 'wired you the pith of encd. this a.m.; & I also wired Mr. Haldane accepting 18th. Dec with many thanks'. In the first of two typed letters, both from Wilton House, he reports (26 November, addressed to Milburn at 158 Anlaby Road, Hull) that he has received a letter from Haldane, 'saying that the suggested arrangements of his dining with you quite meet his approval. I will therefore look after him and "land" him at the Barracks in time.' He suggests that Milburn have his 'dressing room comfortable, in case he wishes to dress at the Barracks'. In the final letter (11 December, addressed to 'Colonel Milburn, | Artillery Volunteers, Hull') he thanks Milburn for his 'kid suggestion in regard to engaging a room at the Station Hotel but as Mr Haldane is to be my guest I shall be glad to undertake this duty'. He concludes: 'Many thanks for your "tip" in regard to the Suffragettes. We will endeavour, if possible, to keep them outside our meeting.' In an autograph postscript he writes: 'P.S | In case the women bother you you can turn your artillery on them! We shall chuck-em-out.'.…
