Historical image documents and previously unpublished photographs
Magnificent band about the Emperor's favourite holiday place
Natural Beauties & Architecture, Historical & Biographical
Once the Habsburg imperial house was discoverer of the diverse beauties and qualities of Islland. With the regent of Franz Josef I, his beloved Ischler summer residence became the political and cultural centre of the soon decaying empire of the Danube monarchy for a few weeks. Here he encountered "Sisi", here they celebrated their engagement. A myth was born that to this day inspired films, stage plays and Ischl visits.
Between beauty and fate, the historical streaks and archival images oscillate. Along atmospheric photographs, the present is stepped through: from fascinating landscapes to urban-rural architecture to Bad Ischl's eternal people who have found their way between history and world. The book portrays the heritage of summer freshness in an endearing ease of being.
