Description: Three rectangular unbleached canvas bags (a,b,c) used as warden diary/mail sacks.The largest bag (a) consists of of heavy canvas material (a) 28.50x18cm wide, is folded over and sewn down creating a hem on the open end; the sides of the bag are both sewn together with beige thread creating a seam. On the back of the bag, the seam on the viewer’s left has a line of stitching in black, probably used to align the fabric, similar to the markings on a pattern. The black stitching is aligned and fully visible down the back of the bag, 0.50cm away from the seam, but on the front of the bag on the viewer’s front right, the black stitching is only partially visible at the top for 1.50cm, then sewn into the bag seam, reappearing 10.0cm from the top, veering down, becoming wider as it nears the the bottom of the bag, ending at 0.50cm for the last 9.0cm. On the front of the bag the words “WARDENS” (4.0x21.0cm wide), in an arc, and under it “BNP” (4.0x9.0cm wide), in an inverted arc, are stencilled in red ink.Bag (b) 26.0cmx17.2cm wide, is one piece of light cotton canvas material folded and sewn together on the bottom and side to create a bag. It is folded over and sewn down creating a hem of 0.50cm around the opening.Bag (c) 25.5cmx17.5cm wide, is one piece of canvas material folded and sewn together on the bottom and side to create a bag. It is folded over and sewn down creating a hem of 0.50cm around the opening.
