Légende

Sketches at the Vienna Exhibition, 1873. 'Peasants in the Machinery Hall. One of our Artists at Vienna, having an eye for the queer and comical aspects of social life, has sketched a few groups of figures representing the odd looks and ways of different classes of visitors to the Exhibition. The ignorant amazement of an elderly pair from the country, at the sight of the wonderworking machines, is contrasted with the scientific zeal of a geologist or mineralogist, who makes a very minute inspection of sundry pieces of rock or metallic ores'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
