In the wake of German unification in 1871, Berlin became a place of
increased interest to the other nations of Europe. The journalist
Henry Vizetelly (1820-94) made his first journey to the capital of
the new empire in 1872. Based on observations from a series of
visits, this two-volume work presents a witty and detailed portrait
of the city and its inhabitants. In Volume 1, Vizetelly describes
travelling to Berlin and his mixed first impressions. He sketches a
brief history of the city and its development from the thirteenth
century onwards, and in a series of essay-style chapters he
discusses aspects of Berlin culture and society - including
dinner-party etiquette - as well as political and military
personalities. Illustrated with hundreds of engravings from designs
by German artists, the work first appeared in 1879. Vizetelly's
Paris in Peril (1882) and Glances Back Through Seventy Years (1893)
are also reissued in this series.
