Step back in time with this poster advertising the Trade Exhibition in Basel, Switzerland, held from 15 to 29 April 1917. The image showcases the pride and craftsmanship of the Swiss artisans, as four workmen and a woman proudly display their wares. In the foreground, a clockmaker meticulously examines the intricate cogs and wheels of his creation, while a sculptor holds aloft a finished piece, its details gleaming in the light. A textile worker, her hands busy with a loom, weaves together the threads of a beautiful fabric, her concentration unbroken. The industrious cog wheel maker, with a stack of wheels at his side, represents the heart of the industrial revolution that was transforming Europe at the time. The woman, dressed in traditional Swiss attire, adds a touch of elegance and grace to the scene. Her presence underscores the importance of women in the workforce during this era, as they played a crucial role in the textile industry. This historical poster invites us to explore the rich history of trade and industry in Basel during the early 20th century. The intricate details, from the delicate cogs to the textured fabrics, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the world of the skilled artisans who shaped the city's industrial landscape.
