This is a very rare original vintage poster promoting the 1929 Skänninge exhibition in Östergötland County, Sweden. The event was part of the city's 400th anniversary celebration of the charter granted by Gustav Vasa, marking a significant year for Skänninge. The exhibition included a notable agricultural meeting for Östergötland County, along with an art, craft, and industrial showcase, inaugurated by Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf on June 20, 1929.
The poster prominently features *Vårfrukyrkan* (the Church of Our Lady) in Skänninge, illustrated in vibrant red and yellow tones, capturing the historical and cultural significance of the event.
Swedish text on the poster:
*"SKÄNNINGE JUBILEUMSUTSTÄLLNING
HANTVERK + INDUSTRI + KONST
I SAMBAND MED ÖSTERGÖTLANDS LANTBRUKSMÖTE"*
Despite showing signs of age, including tears and pinholes, the poster's strong and vivid colors make it a striking piece that would look splendid when framed, serving as a captivating reminder of Sweden's rich cultural heritage.
