�������������������������������������������<br />

department store almost single-handedly made<br />

the delightful enthusiasm of a local oompah<br />

band, Austria is seen here as both historic<br />

impeccable, eye-catching advertisements, here<br />

and friendly, untouched by modernity and<br />

Laskoff has managed to capture that moment<br />

Starting in the early 1910s, horse racing on snow became a<br />
