Plate I. One of the earliest surviving trade union cards, which was filed among the Crown’s affidavits when woolcombers were prosecuted in 1725 in Alton, Hants. (See p. 59.) Note that the union (or “Charity”) has a London printer and claims to have been founded in 1700. Bishop Blaize, the patron of the woolcombers, is in the centre.

Plate II. The ticket of the Amicable Society of Woolstaplers, 1785, invokes associations with trade and with pastoral life rather than with industry.

Plate III. This woolcombers’ union card of 1838 still has the figure of Bishop Blaize at top centre.
