""refugee Monkey Family In America", Antique Terracotta Relief By The Carl Wahliss Factory"
Ancient terracotta relief created ca. 1900-1920 on the famous Austrian porcelain and ceramics factory of Carl Ernst David Wahliss (1837 Sachsony -1900 Vienna), who had factories in Turn_Teplitz and Vienna, probably by his sons Hans and Erich, who took over the paternal business in 1905 , the manufactory had trade in London, England and Vienna.
