This interpretation of the Black Horse symbol of Lloyds Bank is a limited edition. It was produced by J & J Cash Ltd., of Coventry, by the Jacquard silk weaving process, which was developed in the eraly 1820's.   The Black Horse symbol itself is even older, first having been seen as a hanging sign in Lombard Street, in the City of London, in the late 1670's.   Originally the sign of a goldsmith, as a result of numerous amalgamations it passed into the possession of Lloyds Bank in 1864.   Since 1975 the Black Horse has become even more widely known in its 'live' interpretations, particularly in television advertisements.     This picture is No. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - of a limited edition of 1,000.                                     P D Bowman                         Head of Public Relations.
