Camera Offer from Pallavicino to Berlin

This card was sent in 1892 by Pietro Pallavicino, an optical and photographic equipment dealer from Turin, to the G. Goliasch & Cia company in Berlin. While there is no concrete information about the company, the seal on the card indicates that it was a business dealing in "Ottico" (Optician), "Apparecchi Fotografici e Timbri" (Photographic Equipment and Stamps).

The text on the reverse side of the card, in Italian, reads as follows:

"Dear Sirs, Goliasch & Company, Berlin, It is my honor to inform you that the latest batch of portable cameras, of excellent quality and at very reasonable prices, has arrived in my hands. I am pleased to send you my illustrated catalog and I hope to be honored with your orders. Sincerely, P. Pallavicino"
