Descripción

This is a very nice original broadside poster advertising the games and sports events being held at Millcroft Meadow in the Parish of Bitterley in Shropshire on Thursday June 22nd 1911, in celebration of the coronation of King George V. the poster lists the times of the days events followed by a list of the thirty five different sporting and games events being held throughout the day with the prize monies for each event, including a race to the top of Titterstone Clee Hill. The poster was printed in Ludlow by T. J. Price of The Bull Ring & High Street in Ludlow, a large format measuring 19.75 inches by 8.75 inches approx. at some point in its life it has been fixed into a scrap album and is stuck to the card from the album page, not necessarily a bad thing as it has kept in in good condition over the years, as the poster itself is printed on cheap thin paper and could have easily been damaged otherwise, with some fold lines and minor tears, else in good condition. A nice and scarce piece of Shropshire Social History. N° de ref. del artículo 003189
