About This Book

The volume gathers travel essays based on three journeys in the 1870s and 1881 through Dalmatia, Istria, and neighbouring Venetian territories, offering close architectural description of churches, palaces, and urban fabric alongside historical commentary that links monuments to regional events. Individual pieces report on towns such as Trieste, Spalato, Aquileia, and Corfu, note contemporary conditions observed in the field, and reflect on art, inscriptions, and restoration. Illustrations drawn from the author's sketches and photographs and a chronological table accompany the essays to aid travellers and students of regional history and architecture.
