Description:Indoor photograph of the balcony surrounding the Vijećnica central hall, taken from the main staircase. The picture captures the arcades in their full heigth, including the staircase balustrade and chandelier.
Comment:The perspective suggests that the photographer either climbed a ladder or onto the windowsill on the first landing to capture this specific angle. Analogue photographic process, negative-positive (Agfa Isopan 17 DIN). Original preserved as a positive on silver bromine paper, stored as a print and a digital record.
