Coloured drawing by F. Afchain-Vanpoulle of Liège of a design for the processional banner of the Jupille section of the feminist wing of the Belgian Labour Party ('P.O.B. Action Feminine Section de Jupille'), with pencil annotations.
On one side of piece of thick wove paper, 36 x 28 cm. The design is clearly and neatly drawn, coloured in orange, gold, red, blue, brown, black, grey and pink. The banner, casting a grey shadow, is shown tied by ribbon with black, yellow and red stripes onto a spearheaded flagpole, with carved horizontal branch. The banner has a bright red ground, and is of irregular rectangular shape (curved outer lower corner), with gold tassels along the lower edge. It depicts a barefooted man and woman, the latter in Phrygian cap, striding from the left-hand (flagpole) side towards a blazing sun situated in the top right-hand corner, towards which the woman is gesturing. In decorative gold lettering across the banner (and mostly between the couple and the sun) are the words 'P.O.B. | ACTION FEMININE | SECTION | de JUPILLE | FONDÉE en 1921 | ÉMANCIPONS-NOUS | RETRAITE MUTUALITÉ'. In pencil within the sun are the words 'EMANCIPONS NOUS'. Various notes are written around the design: above it, in large letters 'La Femme Prévoyante', and in the bottom left, 'à la taille par la main <?> voir les doigts | - sujets plus grands | Retraite en ligne droite | <?> gagner la hauteur voulue | emancipons-nous dans le soleil'. Two pencil arrows indicate that the banner should be longer in shape. Numbered in manuscript in bottom left-hand corner 'N. 248/27', and with stamp in purple ink in bottom left: 'REPRODUCTION INTERDITE | PROPRIÉTÉ | de F. AFCHAIN-VANPOULLE | 106, rue Cathédrale | LIÈGE'. From sparse references on the Net It would appear that Afchain-Vanpoulle was primarily a designer of church ornament and vestment.
