February Theme Day: Umbrellas

As I didn't have neither the time nor the occasion to take a new umbrella photo, I decided to republish a photo taken in November 2010: A beautiful selection of umbrellas in the window of Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe, a company which has been offering a wide selection of the finest cloths, ties, scarves and accessories (as for instance handmade umbrellas in various styles and original designs) since 1881. Amongst the company's most famous customers were Empress Elisabeth and - in the 20th century - Franz Lehár, Arthur Schnitzler, Leonard Bernstein and Herbert von Karajan.
