Exhibition poster, date unknown


Exhibition poster 1903-4 The Coronation Day of Edward VII took place on September 21st 1903. Therefore, this poster most likely refers to March of 1904.
Note the special day for the display of colour prints; Croydon Camera Club has always been at the fore front of technology.
