This a picture (painting ?) of the Czernowitz fire of 1859.
http://pics.livejournal.com/cv_kind/pic/00006x3y/
The focus is on the Ham ( Sprigbrunnenplatz),
Synagogengasse and Sprigbrunnengasse in the background
are ablaze. Watercarriers look Jewish.
As commercial photography was not around it can only
be a sketch.
Comments from our experts are welcome.
