Friendship
Love
and truth.
The Newcastle Central branch of the Women's Co-operative Guild was formed in 1892 and the members probably had this oil painted silk banner made soon after. It features three symbolic female figures. The central woman is dressed in classical robes, the figure on the right wears academic dress whilst the woman on the left wears working clothes. Each of the ten regions of the Guild were represented by a flower. The sun-flower was the emblem for the Northern region and symbolised 'brightness'.
