The Vienna Exhibition: 1. Styrian Alpine Hut. 2. Indian Wigwam. 3. Styrian Winehouse. 4. Hungarian Peasants' Houses, 1873. '...peasants' cottages and mountain homesteads, imitative of the picturesque habitations in the more remote provinces of the Austrian Empire...The first is a rude Alpine Sennhütte, belonging to a Styrian herdsman, constructed of roughly-dressed pine logs...Far more pretentious is the Styrian winehouse...[which] was a favourite place of resort with visitors to the Exhibition during the hot summer months. In the same woody dell some Yankee speculators constructed a so-called Indian wigwam, the exterior of which is painted all over with fantastic representations of incidents of savage life...Of the lower group of cottages, the one on the left hand represents the dwelling of a Transylvanian Saxon farmer...The entry to the dwelling is on the first floor, by an outer staircase under a projecting porch...The building in the rear is another Transylvanian dwelling, but of a type which is met with on the immediate borders of Wallachia...In the purely Hungarian cottage on the extreme right, the steep pitch of the roof cannot fail to attract attention. A rough shingle fence runs round the little garden. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
