Label TextThis prize card indicates that the embroidery piece submitted won first prize at the Provincial Fair of 1869, one of the years that fair was held in London. The Provincial Fair's regular rotation through London every four years gave local exhibitors the idea that an annual fall fair would be successful and so the Western Fair was inaugurated in 1868.
