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. The topics covered in Volume 2
include the Prussian Landtag, the Reichstag, Berlin's places of
education, its palaces, churches and museums, and its restaurants,
cafes and beer gardens. Chapters on theatre, music, satire and
socialism give a vivid sense of the cultural and political
zeitgeist. 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."
