The banner of the Reading Branch of the Independent labour Party

(to be updated)

Any information about this banner would be appreciated. We are keen to know:
- Who designed it and who made it.
- Is the font used for the text seen elsewhere?
- Was the design influenced by the Arts and Craft movement / William Morris?

The ILP was one of the groups that founded the labour Party.

Information about the current ILP can be found here.
