The
outer banner shows a map of the world surmounted by a merchant ship
suggesting Glasgow's place in international trade. The world is
surrounded by the letter "G" beginning the spelling out
of the city's name.
The
inner image was designed by Sandi Kiehlmann and is predominantly
worked in machine embroidery. The panel celebrates city dwellers'
love of bargain hunting. Needless to say it is raining and the hapless
couple shelter under their umbrella while all around them there
are very amusing illustrations of typical scenes at the January
Sales!
