Sketches in Vienna: a fashionable Conditorei, 1873. 'The dress, manners, and employments of different classes of the people in the lively capital of the Austrian empire afford much entertainment to an observant foreign visitor...There is great diversity of figures, costumes, and dialects among the various nationalities...[Our sketch shows] the interior of a fashionable restaurateur's shop, or conditorei, as it is called in German, where ladies and gentlemen are briskly served with palatable food and drink of a light and dainty sort in the noontide interval between breakfast and dinner'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
