The siblings Peer, Lisbet and Gocken Jobs were born early in the 1900s. Peer became interested in textile printing and the sisters Lisbet and Gocken were interested in painting and pottery. The print workshop is situated in Västanvik in the province of Dalecarlia (the Dala horse is also originating in the province of Dalecarlia).
(I have had this textile in my home since the 1980s.)
