Unlabeled silver gelatine photo postcard from Brno, CZ, former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Nice image dealing with working fashion items of these days. The advertisements are about sauerkraut/pickled cabbage and Sidol Sirax (a metal polishing powder).
Silver bromide print showing an unknown Czech dressmaker (holding a precious pipe) with four female employees for sewing and tayloring. Despite their unhappy facial expressions I have to say I like the design of the textiles. Working conditions were hardcore these days-never forget that. Scene may have been imaged ~1910. A stamp from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire is sticking on the backside of the postcard.
Vintage silver gelatine contact print from former Czechoslovakia, showing Antonín Walpoupka’s brush maker workshop (Kartáčník*) in some Czech town or village. Three women proudly pose next the store’s entrance which is decorated by the makings of master Waloupka – brushes of various types and sizes. Date of imaging maybe the early or the mid 1920ies.
*Many thanks for translating this expression go out to P. Kolinek, Voitsberg/Austria.
