Habsburg Lemberg, 1900
Lemberg in 1900 is the provincial capital of Habsburg Galicia at the height of its stuccoed, late‑Imperial makeover: new palaces and a grand opera close formal promenades while electric trams slice the streets. The walk shows boulevards and market squares where Poles, Ukrainians and Jews trade, coffee houses and confectioners bustle, polytechnic and university students pass, and the Poltva runs hidden beneath a vaulted promenade.
33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lviv as it stood in 1900 (“History of Lviv”).
