EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1914, showcases the thriving Swiss Textile Industry in Bern. The image presents a workshop setting, where skilled artisans meticulously weave textiles on traditional looms. The serene atmosphere of the workshop contrasts sharply with the political turmoil brewing in Europe at the time. Six days prior to this card's mailing, an event of unparalleled significance was unfolding in Sarajevo: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. This tragic occurrence set in motion a chain of events that ultimately led to the start of World War One. Despite the impending conflict, the Swiss textile industry continued to flourish, with its rich craftsmanship and dedication to tradition. The looms in this workshop, powered by water from the nearby river, represent the backbone of Switzerland's textile industry, which was renowned for its high-quality textiles and innovative techniques. This postcard serves as a fascinating historical artifact, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the resilience of the Swiss textile industry in the face of adversity.
