Description
The banner maker George Tutill produced this catalogue to promote banners and banner accessories to trade unions, friendly societies, Sunday schools and other organisations. Tutill began his career as a travelling fairground showman, painting his sideshow with large pictures and decorative lettering similar to later banner designs. Tutill is believed to have founded his banner business in 1837 after being asked to produce a trade union banner for union members who met at a local pub. Tutill's has produced around three quarters of all British trade union banners since 1837.
