Pictures by Photoglob Co.
The twin lacy spires of Vienna's Votive Church rise above a leafy park in this hand-coloured photochrom from around 1895, with an old map of the city inside. The neo-Gothic church was designed by Heinrich von Ferstel, who won the design competition at just 26 and saw it finished in 1879. For someone who loves Vienna or dreams of going.
