Printed cotton handkerchief (370 x 370mm), printed in blue, green, red and black; old folds, a little dusty in places. A very rare survival, a souvenir handkerchief celebrating the 'new' Berlin symbolised by the Reichstag, which had been opened in 1894 and commemorating old buildings of the German capital, which were soon replaced during the building boom of the last years of the century. The printing might have been done in Neuruppin, a garrison town not far from Berlin which was well known for its printers of popular imagery, mainly carried out by the companies Gustav K�hn and Oehmigke & Riemschneider.
