St. Gallische Kantonalbank was one of several Swiss cantonal banks issuing their own notes during the decentralized period before the Swiss National Bank's founding in 1907. This 100 Francs note falls squarely in that window — a two-decade span when individual cantons maintained independent circulation, and London-based security printers like Bradbury Wilkinson supplied much of the continent's fiduciary paper precisely because Swiss domestic capacity was limited and British intaglio standards were trusted.
Joseph Storck was a Viennese architect and decorative arts professor, an unusual choice for a banknote commission. His involvement, alongside Albert Walch, suggests the bank was reaching into the broader Central European design world rather than relying on the printer's in-house artists — a deliberate aesthetic choice that Bradbury Wilkinson would then execute in steel engraving.
