Fashion — C.1910
Banner, suffrage banner
Banner, in the suffragette colours of purple white and green, designed and made by the West Ham branch of the Women's Social and Political Union, based at 49 Junction Road. The trumpeting angel design in the central medallion was adapted from Sylvia Pankhurst's 'angel of freedom' motif by branch members Misses M A and E Brice (presumably sisters). The letters were made by Helen Friedlaender and her brother. Helen was Honorary Secretary of the Forest Gate WSPU and Organiser in West Ham during the 1910 general election campaign. It is likely the banner was made during this time.
