Welcoming guests
The best way to see how Lviv and Lvivites wanted to "show themselves" to the guests of the city is through the stories of imperial visits. In addition to the fact that these visits were very important and revealing, their example can be used to trace the evolution of welcoming guests and self-presentation over the course of half a century. However, this is also an extreme example as, for Lviv, there was not and could not be a more important guest in those days. And there were other visits and other guests, less significant, but no less revealing.
