Banner
Lewis, Rose Mabel
(maker)
Rose Mabel Lewis of Greenmeadow, Tongwynlais, designed and made this banner. She was the President of the Cardiff and District Women’s Suffrage Society. Rose led the south Wales section in the Great Suffrage procession in London on 17 June 1911. She walked in front of her banner with 40,000 other men and women who took part in the procession from Whitehall to the Albert Hall. The dragon attracted a lot of attention - ‘Here comes the Devil’ was the greeting of one group of onlookers.
