Guild of Humanity badge

Context

The Royal Agricultural Society's annual exhibition was held in Kilburn, London, in 1879. The event, officially known as the London International Agricultural Exhibition, was one of the society's most ambitious shows to date. Despite attracting over 187,000 visitors, it was plagued by persistent rain, which turned the site into a muddy quagmire, negatively impacting attendance and ultimately leading to financial losses.
