Contributions to a History of Photography in Austria, Vol. 15
"For her clients Marianne STROBL descended into the sewers, crawled into the caves of the Ötscher and - with her camera - she accompanied the construction of the gas plant Vienna-Leopoldau for years. She created multi-faceted portraits of the textile company E. Braun and the deluxe hotel Meißl & Schadn.
Her proficiency in 'flash photography' helped her to document new buildings such as the Semmeringvilla, furnished with historical pomp, a men’s home or a mental hospital in Trieste.
STROBL’s specialization in industrial photography was a practical strategy in order to subsist on the highly competitive market in Vienna around 1900. This self-assured photographer, who did not 'hide' in the studio, like many of her professional colleagues, is to be rediscovered." (publisher's note, © Fotohof, 2017)
