Excerpt from Reports on the Vienna Universal Exhibition, 1873: Made to the U. S. Centennial Commission Most of the ornaments in relief about this Vienna building, are cast in plaster upon a loose netting of hempen cloth, which serves to strengthen the cast and does away with the necessity of having much weight of material. The second photograph gives a perspective view of the whole range of buildings, including the Machinery hall in the rear. This View was taken on the 7th day of March last (no. 58. General view from the Southeast). It gives a very good idea of the present general condition of the exterior; except that there is now a heavier staging about the lantern of the dome, for the purpose of fixing there the huge gilded crown, and that the foreground is now encumbered with trains of cars and boxes of merchandise. Many supplemental structures have also been erected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
