Description:
First showcased in Leipzig at the Bugra 1914, the Exquisit was an example of classic German engineering of the Stop-Cylinder design. Heavily built for continuous production of the highest quality printing, this model is the only one of its kind in North America and possibly the world. The Exquisit model was in production well into the late 1930s. Ours has image size of 50 x 70 cm, and is completely restored in 2020 - just in time for its 100th birthday.
