Wien in Alten Ansichten [Pictures of Old Vienna]
Author: Alfred May
Publisher: Verlag Jugend und Volk, 1965
Page Count: 355
Hardcover: To be confirmed.
Historic photographs of Old Vienna, meaning the 17th-early 20th centuries. The seat of the Holy Roman Empire and then the Hapsburg Empire, Vienna was the Germanic Florence to Berlin’s Rome. As bequeathed the capital of empires, endless money was spent on the most glorious buildings, but with huge spaces given over to the workers and commercial districts, the so-called vernacular architecture. Hagiography is normally applied to humans, but the pride the Hapsburgian photographers took in Vienna can properly fall into that category.
Condition: Good. To be confirmed. In German.
