Fairs/Exhibitions |
Back in 1928, Örebro hosted a grand county exhibition, a remarkable event that radiated an air of optimism and an unwavering belief in the boundless potential of technological progress. This exhibition embodied the futuristic spirit of its era, showcasing the ambitions of Örebro County across various domains: agriculture, industry, handicrafts, farming, mining, manor culture, forestry, hunting, fishing, and more.
The Örebro exhibition was a two-fold spectacle, with a substantial Agricultural meeting on one side and an extensive industrial and craft exhibition on the other. It even boasted a sizable amusement park within the exhibition area.
The grand inauguration of this exhibition was an honor bestowed by King Gustav V.
What we have here is an authentic vintage poster from the Örebro County Exhibition Lottery of 1928, offering enticing prizes. The grand prize is a home of your own (Forssjöhus), valued at approximately SEK 12,000, while the second prize is a Volvo car worth SEK 4,800.
Despite the passage of time, this poster remains in very good condition, with only minimal signs of wear and a slight diagonal fold at the upper right corner. It's a wonderful glimpse into a bygone era.
