Abstract

Barely back in Basel Handschin met Bernhard Lerch (1811-1904), a ribbon manufacturer and Swiss entrepreneur from Moscow, who was looking for a weaving master for his firm. This meeting was to become a fateful tum in Handschin' s development. Bernhard Lerch offered the young and well-qualified Handschin a position, he accepted and in 1856 traveled to Moscow where he was to spend the next 25 years.
