	Lecture by Mathias Böhm from the Picture Archive of the Austrian National Library on February 27, 2025, at the Naval Association Vienna. In 1855, Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, the eldest brother of the reigning Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, undertook an almost five-month-long sea voyage through the Mediterranean. It was the Archduke’s personal wish that the most innovative photographic institution of the time, the Imperial and Government Printing Establishment, delegate the also 23-year-old Franz Mai to document the journey photographically. The result is a unique series of images, preserved as a collection of loose sheets containing up to 49 photographs.
