BOOK - RARE publication by order of the CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE LYON on the occasion of the EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE DE VIENNE 1873 (Autriche). "LA FABRIQUE LYONNAISE DE SOIERIES - SON PASSÉ, SON PRESENT". De l' imprimerie Louis Perrin, rue d' Amboise, 6 - 44 pages - 36 x 28 cm. Interesting study on the origins and development of the Lyonnais silk factory from Louis XI, who in 1466 exempted workers who came to Lyon to work on gold and silk cloth of all sizes until the 2nd Empire... Industrial history, production and sales figures, major silk manufacturers.... superb inside, with a few small flaws in the paper cover.
