Collector's Notes:
Gift from T.P. Dating is approximate based on the operations of Guiseppe Rizzi and son Cesare in Varese from 1904 to 1939. This design is represented in the c. 1927 Rizzi sample book as #1020. Selective overlap of colors and masterful registration give the illusion of additional orange, purple, and green layers.
