Levetus, A. S. Imperial Vienna. [*]$5. Lane.
An account of the history, tradition and arts of Vienna, according to the sub-title. “The volume ... is both more and less than its subtitle implies. There is a good deal of ‘history’ (141 pages out of the 416), an indefinite amount of ‘tradition,’ and a very little (ten pages) about ‘art, including sculpture and painting under Franz Josef’; but there is, in addition, something about literature, the theatre, dancing, court festivities, society, education, and the life of the common people. And, of course, the guide-book element is all there—description of streets, squares, buildings, monuments, churches, palaces, &c. The whole is enlivened by more than 150 well-selected, and for the most part, very clever illustrations from sketches in charcoal, pencil, and pen and ink.” (Nation).
“An admirable literary and artistic memorial of one of the most interesting of European capitals.”
