spectacular and ultra rare original historical glass plate positive measuring approximately 12 x 9 cm. this is an exceptional, unique photographic record from world war i, showing a sharp vertical aerial view of the k.u.k. militär-aëronautische anstalt fischamend (military aeronautical establishment) near vienna, austria-hungary.
the high-resolution photograph provides an incredible overhead bird's-eye view of the specialized circular railway tracking system (ringgleise) used to maneuver massive military airships safely into their hangars, including the famous körting hall and stagl-mannsbarth hall. several military barracks, industrial workshop buildings, and storage units are clearly visible.
the top of the plate includes the original hand-scratched military archival inscription reading m. fischamend and the inventory serial number 44 in the upper right corner.
the glass plate is in magnificent vintage condition with outstanding contrast, crisp details of the landscape, and a fully intact emulsion. a premier museum-grade piece for collectors of early aviation architecture and WWI airship history.
size: ~ 12 x 9 cm (1 cm ~ 0.39 inch)
