As early as the 19th century, travel and expedition photography began to develop and was increasingly used as a new medium for depicting the world. Driven by cultural, political or commercial motivations, series of photographs emerged that tell of industrialisation, the expansion of mobility, shifting claims to power, and the exploration of lesser-known landscapes.
These impressive works take us to the icy heights of the Alps, to the ancient sites of the Middle East, to remote regions of the Habsburg Monarchy, and to distant lands such as Japan. The photographs on display are drawn from the Albertina’s diverse collection.
