Erich Lessing (1923 – 2018)
Card player in a Viennese coffee house, Austria, Vienna, 1953
Item number 057-10208
»The Vienna coffeehouse is different than in many other European cities. In Vienna it is a center of life, and the cup of coffee drunk here is an excuse and a by-product, rather than the reason for going. People play chess, billiards, card games, read newspapers or discuss politics for hours, or meet friends regularly and use their special coffeehuse much like a family parlor.« (caption at the agency-text clip on the reverse of the print).
