Four stereoview albumen photographs sized 6 x 3 in. mounted on printed card stock sized 7 x 3.2 in. w/ photographer's imprints & text w/in fore-edge borders, printed captions for 3 of four on versos (minor shelfwear, dustsoiling, 1 w/ minor staining to left fore-edge), still a nice set. Four very scarce albumen stereoview photographs visually capturing the Gallery of Fine Arts at the historic 1873 Universal Exhibition of Vienna, which was intended to mark the silver anniversary of Emperor Franz-Joseph I, and far surpassed any of the others in area with 233 hectares, featuring 53,000 exhibitors from 35 countries in 194 pavilions. Featuring the first appearance of the emerging Meiji-era Japan, along with many pavilions promoting the world's progress in industry, art, education, and agriculture. The massive rotunda featured 70,000 square feet and a huge number of exhibits, including the clocks seen here in the photos. Also featured are the Belgian, Moroccan, Jury Pavilion, and the Swedish. Unfortunately the Exhibition lost massively due to a cholera outbreak in Vienna, and the stock market crash of 1873 9 days after the Fair opened. Still, although losing the modern equivalent of $ 200 million, and severely depressing the local finances, vendors were pleased, and 7 million did attend the Fair. Klosz (1844-1913) was an exceptionally successful Viennese photographer, whose postcards, CDV's, and albums documented Austro-Hungarian events. Kramer (1835-1892) was an early and longtime noted photographer in Vienna from 1858 until his death, and was the co-founder and director of the Vienna Photographers Association, the organization which shot over 2200 different images for the 1873 Vienna Fair; Frankenstein (1843-1918) photographed landscapes and architecture in and around Vienna, and across the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
