What year was the artistic division started? Are there any archives of entries ?
It would be fun to see judges comments if any exist.
Answer
The artistic classes that we think of (with garden club entries) really got started in the late 1920s early 1930s. We don't have judges comments on these entries, but we do have some photos in our archives.
