Product Description
This delightful little booklet is sold as a guidebook for visitors to Schonbrunn Palace. About three English miles from the Great Belvedere near Vienna is the famous palace of Schonbrunn which was rebuilt from its own ruins in 1696. This is a sort of summer residence of the Emperor of Austria and it is here that his daughter, the ex-Empress of France, and the young Bonaparte usually reside. The latter never goes into Italy, when his mother, as Duchess of Parma, pays her annual visit to her principality. Schonbrunn is a most magnificent pile of building; a truly imperial residence. This book features over 45 color plate photos and descriptions of this grand place including its history, courtyards, gardens and a complete description of each interior room. It is small enough to carry as a pocketbook yet inclusive enough to contain virtually all the important information one would like to know for an unforgettable visit to Schonbrunn. ... Read more
