This is the Rohrpost part of a very large book of drawings "K. k. Telegraphen Central Station, Wien 1874". It was written by Georg Ehlich, an official of the k. k. Telegraphenamt, and issued on 1 March 1875. This book was item B5733 alias B7051 in the Technical Museum Library’s index and is 2106E in the Post Office Archives.
