Pictures by Matthäus Seutter
The soaring spire of Gdansk's Main Town Hall rises over the gabled houses and trams of the Long Market in this hand-coloured photochrom from around 1895, with an old map of Danzig inside. Gdansk grew rich as one of the great Hanseatic trading ports, shipping grain down the Vistula River. For someone who loves Gdansk or old cities.
