About the Item
Das Weltausstellungsgebäude in Wien – The Vienna Exhibition Hall, 1873
A finely hand-colored 19th-century engraving depicting the grand Weltausstellungsgebäude (World Exhibition Hall) in Vienna, constructed for the Wiener Weltausstellung of 1873. This monumental building, also known as the Rotunde, was one of the largest domed structures in the world at the time and a triumph of glass-and-iron architecture.
The image presents a lively scene in front of the exhibition grounds, with elegantly dressed visitors strolling across the landscaped gardens. Flags flutter from the roofline, and the immense glass dome, designed by Carl von Hasenauer and built under the direction of engineer Johann Caspar Harkort, dominates the skyline. The central portal is adorned with allegorical sculptures symbolizing Industry and Progress, emphasizing the spirit of modern innovation celebrated at the exhibition.
This engraving captures the optimism and grandeur of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at its cultural and industrial peak. The 1873 World Exhibition was a major event, intended to rival those of London and Paris, and it showcased technological, artistic, and architectural achievements from around the world.

Framing tips: A gilt or walnut frame with a cream mat will enhance the architectural detail and warm tones of the print.

Antique print titled 'The International Exhibition Building'.
The Sydney International Exhibition opened in the autumn of 1879, but it wasn't really universal and therefore not officially recognised by the Bureau of International Expositions.

After the exhibitions many of the exhibits were selected to be at display in the Technological, Industrial and Sanitary Museum (now the Powerhouse Museum). The Garden Palace...
