About this object25 Show ribbons won by Mr Aubrey Robinson, 'Rosedale', over a 32 year period from 1900 to 1932. The ribbons have been stitched together along the long sides to make what is assumed to be a rug or wall hanging. Ribbons are from Canowindra, Cowra and Sydney show events featuring horses, some for horse and buggy, and some for trotting events.
These ribbons have excellent provenance and are representative of show ribbons of the 1900s. The ribbons show visually only a small part of a very prominent citizen in Canowindra’s history, and the wider show and horse event scene, during the early part of the 1900’s. While the poor condition of the ribbons is unfortunate the collection as a whole provides a glimpse at a very successful exhibitor.
