A historical protest banner from Skelmanthorpe, divided into four sections with text and illustrations. The top left section reads: 'SKELMANTHORP Will not rest Satisfied with the Suffrage being any thing but Universal'. The top right says: 'Truth and Justice Pouring Balm into the Wounds of the Manchester sufferers.' The bottom left section states: 'May never a Cock in England Crow, Nor never a Pipe in Scotland Blow, Nor never a Harp in Ireland Play, Till Liberty regains Her Sway.' The bottom right contains an illustration of an enslaved man in chains, kneeling with hands clasped in prayer beneath a radiant eye, with a banner above reading: 'Am I not a Man & a Brother.' The banner is hand-painted on cloth. Add to board
