About This Book

A painter-traveller records journeys through Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia, and nearby Montenegro, combining watercolour sketches with descriptive notes on towns, landscapes, architecture, markets, and local costumes. The narrative alternates practical travel anecdotes—arrivals by yacht, sketching excursions, and encounters in cafés—with concise historical and cultural observations about population, agriculture, crafts, and religious sites. Illustrations and facing plates accompany accounts of notable sights such as bridges, fountains, and marketplaces, while attention to natural features and everyday life conveys both scenic detail and the author's personal impressions of a region little visited by tourists.
