Josef Troll (1844—1919)
Josef Troll is born in Leopoldstadt, Vienna’s 2nd district, as the son of a wealthy family. Soon after completing his legal studies in Cracow, he gives up law. After turning forty, numerous journeys, which he painstakingly prepares, take him to areas of Asia almost or completely untouched by tourism. He purposefully collects oriental arts and crafts for Viennese museums, works which he either donates or trades for the compensation of his costs.
