EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1921 with this vintage print of an Old Bleach Needlework Competition Advert. Hosted by the Old Bleach Linen Co. Ltd., this advertisement promotes a £1000 prize competition for needlework enthusiasts. The vibrant colors and intricate design of the advert capture the essence of early 20th century advertising.
Located in Randalstown, Ireland, the Old Bleach Linen Co. Ltd. was known for its high-quality linen products and commitment to promoting traditional crafts like needlework. This advert, featured in a March issue of a color magazine, Volume 14, showcases the company's dedication to supporting and celebrating skilled artisans.
The competition offered a substantial cash prize of £1000, which would have been a significant sum at that time. It likely attracted talented needleworkers from all over Ireland who were eager to showcase their skills and potentially win big.
This print is not just a piece of history but also a glimpse into the past when competitions like these were eagerly anticipated events in communities across Ireland. The attention to detail and craftsmanship displayed in this advert reflect the pride and passion that went into creating beautiful works of art through needlework during that era.
