Östergötlands Läns Lantbruksmöte 1929 Skänninge

This authentic vintage poster, dating back to 1929, serves as a promotional piece for the Swedish exhibition "Östergötlands Läns Lantbruksmöte 1929," held in Skänninge, a charming village nestled within the Mjölby municipality of Östergötland county.

The exhibition was a part of the 400th anniversary celebration of the city privileges granted by Gustav Vasa. Östergötland County's housekeeping society relocated this year's county agricultural meeting to Skänninge, alongside a parallel art, craft, and industrial exhibition inaugurated by Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf on June 20.

In Sweden, agricultural meetings were pivotal gatherings facilitating discussions on agricultural affairs, showcasing livestock and agricultural products, conducting price assessments, and exhibiting farming tools and equipment. These events played a crucial role in promoting the agricultural industry.

While the poster exhibits some signs of wear, including missing paper, tears, and general wear, it retains its charm and would make a striking display when framed.
