This bookmark is almost identical to the title " Yorkshire Fine Arts and Industrial Exhibition opened July 1866 " {recorded as sb2681}.
The difference being that in the title of sb2681, there is an " S " in " ARTS " which is missing from the bookmark above.
On close inspection of the image above, it can be seen there is a space where this letter was, implying that the other, sb2681, bookmark was the original version and changed when it was discovered the Exhibition title was different.
