And they fixed up our facade. You can tell how bored I am since I am posting to social media again. But fear not: I will reliably complain about too much work once customers show up again ...
as is my right as a citizen of Vienna.

Business is very slow this cold January so I did the spring cleaning a little earlier than usual (normally I would do it probably the next time in the spring of 2028).

The Louvre in Paris, circa 1885. From "Langl's Bilder zur Geschichte" published by Eduard Hölzel in Vienna. Absolute mint condition chromolithograph, it even still shows the registration marks and colour bar which were usually cropped once a plate was in use. At 180 Euros it's a steal.

Ca. 1900, six Engleder botanical wallcharts in impeccable condition. Carefully framed in untreated oak for a customer, ensuring they last another 125 years.

Very rare (and if I say very rare, I mean VERY rare) double sheet school chart of "Konstantinopel" by Leutert & Schneidewind, Dresden. From the series "Dr. A. Wünsche, Land und Leben", ca. 1910.

So here they are. 230 geographical, botanical and zoological school charts. 100 to 140 years old. Managed to get them somewhat flat without any invasive procedures. I will try and give you a better impression of what we are dealing here. But I can quite confidently say that we are very unlikely to ever see those again in this condition.
