Pressa

Pressa was an International Press Exhibition held in Cologne between May and October, 1928.

As German exhibitors were barred from participating in the Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernheld in Paris in 1925, that this exhibition was held in Germany indicated the rehabilitation of Germany as regards international projects of this kind.[1]
