Collotype aerial of Mürzsteg tucked into its Styrian valley — whitewashed buildings along a stream, a chalet-style villa on the wooded slope, bare rocky peaks above — kept by someone as a memento of their Easter mountain tour in 1925. Mürzsteg was more than a picturesque alpine village: Emperor Franz Joseph maintained an imperial hunting lodge here, and in 1903 the village lent its name to the Mürzsteg Agreement, a diplomatic accord between Austria-Hungary and Russia over the future of the Balkans. Whoever held onto this card wrote simply on the back: "In memory of my Easter tour, 1925" — a small private record of a spring in the mountains.
