The hundreds of items documented in this early photographic catalog come from the personal collection of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria and are displayed at Ambras Castle, the Archduke's residence between 1563 and 1595. Ferdinand II founded the Ambras collections of 15th and 16th century arms and armor that had originally been assembled by the Emperor Maximilian I and Archduke Sigismund. This collection became renowned during his own lifetime and he built a specially conceived museum complex to house and display them. The salt prints average 11" x 6" (279 x 229mm) the albumens are as large as 11" x 9" (279 x 229mm.) The prints are mounted on paper and framed with ink.

About the authors: Andreas Groll (1812-1872), was born in Vienna as the son of a man servant. He may have learned photography during his time as a lab assistant at the polytechnic institute - today's Technical University - in Vienna from 1845 to 1853. At that time, the polytechnic institute was the most important place of early photography in Austria because of the presence of professors such as Johann Joseph of Prechtl, Anton of Schroetter (who is said to have encouraged Groll) and particularly the activity of Anton Georg Martin. Groll's early work was daguerreotype. He then turned to salt prints and albumen photographic prints. In cooperation with Eduard von Sacken, Groll's first large special photographic project was to photograph the historical weapons and armors gathered in the imperial collections of the Ambras Castle. (John Hannavy in "Encyclopedia of Nineteen Century Photography") Eduard Freiherr von Sacken (1825-1883 ) was an Austrian heraldist and antiquarian. In 1845, he was the amanuensis (secretary to a scholar) at the Imperial coin and antiquities museum of Vienna (Münz- und Antikenkabinett.) In 1854, he was hired as a curator and in 1871 was appointed director of the museum. Von Sacken published numerous Art-Historical works, but remains mostly renown for his very scholarly work on heraldry. (From A. Bernhard-Walcher: "Eduard Freiherr von Sacken," in: "Österreichisches Biographisches Lexikon 18151950" (ÖBL) Band 9, Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Wien 1988).

Wien, undated ( before 1869 ), the 8 albumine prints are mounted on 6 boards. The albumine prints represent different views of the original drawings by von Sicardsburg and van der Nüll. Sizes vary between 26 x 38 cm and 50 x 20 cm. Some of the drawings are titled. E.g. ''Rückwärtige Ausicht'' on board n°6. (This is also the print with Groll's name). Other drawings are: Groundfloor, Querschnitt durch die Bühne, Querschnitt, Seitenansicht (aussen). .All prints are mounted on contemporary boards. (62 x 46 cm). The boards are a bit dustsoiled, some of the prints are more or less faded. The boards are stamped with the collection stamp of Frans Baeckelmans ( 1835 - 1896) . He was an Antwerp (Belgium - Flanders) architect who reputedly designed neo-renaissance buildings partially based on photographic examples of classical renaissance buildings ( e.g. the old court of justice in Antwerp, based on a Baldus picture of the Louvre - this picture also formed part of his collection). The photographer Andreas Groll ( 1812 - 1872) was one of the photography pioneers of the Habsburg empire. Architecture was one of his main intrests. The Wiener Staatsoper ( still standing) was contructed between 1861 and 1869 at the newly constructed Ringstrasse. Its neo-renaissance style must surely greatly have pleased the Antwerp architect collector . This collection is an interesting and early testimony of the use of the newly invention of the art of photography in architectural design.
