This original poster promotes the Höganäs Exhibition, which took place from 5th to 15th July 1928, with Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf as its high patron. The exhibition coincided with the inauguration of the new Julivallen sports ground.
The poster designed by Nils-Folke Knafve features the Luggude county coat of arms, depicting a blue shield with the cross of St. Andrew in silver. Luggude was a district in northwestern Scania, corresponding today to the municipalities of Helsingborg, Höganäs, Bjuv, and part of the municipality of Svalöv.
While the overall condition of the poster is okay, it does have a long tear at the bottom that has been mended with tape, leaving a visible tape stain. Despite this flaw, the poster remains a historical artifact representing the Höganäs Exhibition and the local heritage of Luggude.
