Product Description
Product Description
Banners are the miners' battle-standards, proclaiming graphic messages of hope and calls for social justice, recording more vividly than any other artform the history of the straggle for working-class rights. This extensively illustrated book gives a detailed account of the wide range of banners of the Durham coalfield. It examines their manufacture, the inspiration behind their designs and mottoes, and their use, from the formation of the Durham Miners' Association in 1869 to the strike of 1984/5 and the subsequent destruction of the coalfield. A concluding catalogue details over 1,000 banners and incorporates a short history of every colliery where a banner was in use.
