Photographer unknown. Stephansdom, Vienna seen from the West. Mid-1870s. Mammoth albumen print. 56 x 77 cm (mount 68 x 88 cm). Mounted to board (soiled, some traces of use).

An unusually large and finely detailed albumen print depicting the south façade of St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Vienna, taken from Stephansplatz. The image captures the intricate Gothic architecture of the cathedral with striking clarity, including the soaring spire and patterned tile roof. In the foreground, several horse-drawn omnibuses operated by the Neue Wiener Omnibus-Gesellschaft, founded in 1872, highlight the emergence of organized urban transport in late 19th-century Vienna.
– Some surface scuff/scratch marks, horizontal line in upper area, water spot in mid area, otherwise in good condition.
