I’ve posted before about Edward McKnight Kauffer. Here’s an early design, by him, for a cotton manufacturer in manchester. These simple labels were attached to bales of printed cotton for export to the South American market.
Kauffer produced a series of labels over a number of years, 36 in total – 1916 through to 1926.
I have examples of 34 of the labels designed by Edward McNight Kauffer for the Zimmern textile company in Manchester. I inherited them from Mary Zimmern the daughter of the textile importer
