Herrenhaus, the New Parlament Building , Vienna, Austria, EUR
Baron Th. Hansen, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, November 14, 1891. 12.75 by 8.75 inches. VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling.
Gelatine Print. This is an original gelatine on fiber based paper. The Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna is where the two Houses of the Parliament of Austria conduct their sittings. The building is on the Ringstrasse boulevard in the first district Innere Stadt, close by the Hofburg Palace and the Palace of Justice. This picture is extremely hard to find. The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original gelatines only appeared in a very limited number of issues. It measures 12.75 by 8.75 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures approximately 15.5 by 11.5 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print. Shrink wrapped.
