Vienna Exhibition: looking at the model of Jerusalem, 1873. 'One Illustration this week, from a sketch by our Special Correspondent at the Exhibition, shows the motley costumes of the spectators, belonging to different nations, Eastern and Western, who throng to look at a model of the city and temple of Jerusalem in the Turkish Empire Section. Jews, Greeks, and Mohammedans, with the people of Hungary, the Servians, the Bosnians, and the Croatians, who dwell in the border provinces of the Turkish and Austrian dominions, seem to view this object with a common feeling of curiosity, derived from its religious associations. No other historic city in the world, ancient or modern, without even the exception of Rome, commands the traditional respect of so many different nations of mankind'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
