The Société Cotonnière Russo-Française, founded in 1898, represents a fascinating piece of industrial and financial history. This joint-stock company, headquartered in Paris, was created to exploit trade and production opportunities in the cotton sector between France and Russia. The initial share capital was fifteen million francs, divided into 30,000 shares of 500 francs each.
This specific share, dated November 29, 1910, is a perfect example of historical scripophily documents. Shareholders held bearer shares, a common practice at the time that allowed greater fluidity in the trading of shares. The certificate's artwork features two female figures representing spinning and weaving, symbols of the cotton industry.
