This year’s RDS Library & Archives Dublin Horse Show exhibition, Selling the Show: 154 Years of Promoting the Dublin Horse Show explores the role that advertising and marketing have played in the successful delivery of the Horse Show from its beginnings in 1868 to the present day through images and text drawn from the RDS Archival and Treasures collections.
