Vienna Exhibition 1873

[chiara santamaria]

Hi,

I wonder if you have an official record of who opened the 1873 Vienna Exhibition. There are pictures - just a few - showing the opening of the event, but nowhere I could find the names of the Royalties who opened the event.
Can you help? Thank you.

Kind regards.
