Archduke of Austria, Rudolf of the House Habsburg-Lorraine, and his wife Archduchess Stéphanie, visited Cracow in 1887. The work comes from a series of news photographs Brandel made during their visit to Cracow’s Błonia Common. Brandel was able to take shots thanks to his own technical improvements, e.g. reducing the negative size to 6 x 9 cm.
Other photographs from the set are owned by the Public Library of the City of Warsaw.
