This is a very rare original vintage poster promoting the 1929 Skänninge exhibition in Östergötland County, Sweden. The 1929 Skänninge exhibition was a significant part of the 400th anniversary celebrations of the city's charter granted by Gustav Vasa. It was a year filled with events, including Östergötland County's agricultural meeting, which took place alongside an art, craft, and industrial exhibition inaugurated by Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf on June 20.
The poster showcases "Vårfrukyrkan" (the Church of Our Lady) in Skänninge, depicted with vibrant red and yellow colors.

Although it's missing a small fragment from the right margin, this flaw does not affect the image. The poster boasts strong, vivid colors and would make a splendid addition when framed.
