Jelmoli/Orient-Teppiche. ca. 1916.
For an oriental rug sale at the Jelmoli department store in Zurich, we get an exotic rug weaver at work. All the cited works–with the exception of PAI–are for the edition printed in 1916 by Zurich’s Fretz printing firm; this one, with altered text, is quite rare and it’s not clear if it predates the other or was printed subsequently.
