I saw this in an article in the Xmas edition of a monthly Vienna English magazine (on the way to you, Laurie, the entire edition is about "Nostalgica").

Online I didn't find any but this site which doesn't describe Vienna but - who of you knows which city?
http://washingtonmo.com/1893/oldvienna.htm

I'm confused except for the mention of the Bride of the Adriatic. Vienna is not on the Adriatic Sea, is it? This also mentions gondoliers, and I don't remember any of those on the Danube.

My first guess was Venice, but that led me to the ancient city of Kotor in Montenegro. It is in such an unstable section of the world now (Serbia, Bosnia), however, that I would hesitate to travel there -- but it does look glorious.

Does this previous description of "Old Vienna" in the 1893 World's Fair have it wrong?
