Great Grandpa’s Bowler Hat

Great grandpa really had more hats than I thought! After his tophat I now also found his Bowler hat (by Josef Mauerer, Vienna)! A photography which has been on the wall of the hallway in our country house, where he lived, as long as I can think, shows him on his wedding day – with exactly this hat in his hand. Around 100 years later, it is still in such good shape that it means he cannot have worn it often.

Jugend mit Stil

A small collection of snapshots featuring buildings with Jugendstil elements across Europe (Helsinki, Vienna, Prague, Munich, Trieste, Sweden).
Not to miss when in Munich by the way: Franz von Stuck’s Villa! He was frequently involved in the making of the Munich based magazine “Jugend”, which gave the name to “Jugendstil”.
