Title: Exposition Universelle Paris diploma, 1900 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers' grand prix medal from the International Universal Exhibition in Paris 1878 established the firm's reputation abroad. However, due to trade barriers Huntley & Palmers did not exhibit again in Europe until Paris 1900. In 1900 they were awarded two grand prix medals. This diploma commemorates the 'grand prix' awarded for the class devoted to biscuits for home consumption (e.g. the British market). The jury said 'the firm has not ceased to progress, either in the expansion of business or in the excellence of its products'. The second award was a 'grand prix unique' for products specially prepared for export to the colonies.
