This display of butter was created by Mrs Jessie Petterson for the Harvest Festival. Ten pounds of butter was used.
The Harvest Festival display was always put together by the church ladies ( Orbost Presbyterian Church) and was a family friendly festival celebrating the end of summer.
The Harvest Festivals were regular community events in Orbost during the first half of the 20th century. This photograph is associated with that time.A black / white photograph postcard of a butter sculpture, a flower arrangement carved out of butter.on back - "display of butter by Mrs Jessie Petterson, 1900"harvert-festival sculpture-butter petterson-jessie
