AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A folder of various color samples; really excellent, the pearls' quality destined for the African market was produced in a rather inaccurate way. The "Società Veneziana per l'Industria delle Conterie" was founded in 1898, bringing together the 17 most important producers of "conterie" (and other types of pearls), to avoid dangerous price competition. The "Società Veneziana per l'Industria delle Conterie" represented, until the late 1970s, the largest glass industry in Murano. In 1902 the factory employed more than 1,000 workers! (the island's inhabitants at that time were about 5,500) We can reasonably approximate dating the folder to around 1950–1960. Dimensions of the postcard: 24 cm x 17 cm. Private collection purchased after the company closed."} alternatives: there is no need for alternatives. The provided translation is final.} Wait, there is a stray. Remove that trailing.
