Orell Füssli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orell Füssli is a Swiss printing and bookselling company, established by Christoph Froschauer in the 16th century.

At the end of the 18th century it was notable for its bookshop in Zürich. It specialized in disseminating literature of the French Enlightenment by means of written orders through the publishing house Société typographique de Neuchâtel (STN), which was known to print banned books. A descendant company, Orell Füssli Filialen, still exists.[1]

Orell Füssli has printed some of Switzerland's banknotes for the Swiss National Bank since 1911.[2]
