Banner of the Stovemakers Union of NSW, Edgar Whitbread, 1920s.
Source: Noel Butlin Archives Centre, The Australian National University, Canberra, item no E245/212
By permission of the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union.

This banner was made by Edgar Whitbread, Sydney's best-known banner painter of the period. It follows British union design traditions, presenting scenes of the work undertaken by members of the union. The upper scene presents an up-to-date urban image of products made by stovemakers, while the two lower images link the pre-industrial past in Britain to the experience of Australian bush workers. The banner, like many others of the period, is decorated with waratahs and flannel flowers, the floral emblems of New South Wales.
