An old award plaque bearing the inscription "1er Prix 1926" (1st Prize 1926), made of painted sheet metal. This type of plaque was usually affixed to a display stand, an exhibition cage, or a panel of honor to indicate the winning of a first prize in a competition or exhibition. Its sober and elegant graphic design, characteristic of the 1920s, makes it an interesting testament to the awards given during agricultural, horticultural, poultry, or craft events of the interwar period.
