This splendid oil painted silk banner was carried by members of a Sunderland temperance group. The group was called the Independent Order of Rechabites and it campaigned against the drinking of alcohol. The banner was made in first half of the 20th century by the chief banner-maker of the day, George Tutill. It was made at his City Road workshop in London and carries the traditional Rechabite images including scenes from the bible.
