Light foxing;,OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:74119221.First edition of one of Salvator's rarest works. Contains 87 unnumbered color chromolithographic plates depicting the folk costumes of the Croatian Littoral, Dalmati…a, the Dalmatian Hinterland, the Bay of Kotor, and Montenegro. Each illustration is accompanied by text. The chromolithographs were created based on paintings by Franz Bohumil Doubek, Paul Janowitz, Emil Lauffer, Peter Maixner, and Guido Manes, which were in turn based on the author's watercolors and photographs by Antonio Vives. A list of illustrations (plates) appears at the beginning of the book, following the preface. Like most of the author's works, this one was published anonymously. In 1870, the author began publishing the series *Die Serben an der Adria. Ihre Typen und Trachten* (The Serbs on the Adriatic: Their Types and Costumes), which, according to the original subscription prospectus, was intended to comprise 100 plates and accompanying text. The author was not named; only the artists commissioned to create the paintings under his supervision?Emil Lauffer, Guido Manes, and Petr Maixner?were listed. By 1878, nine fascicles containing a total of 45 plates (without accompanying text) had been published, after which printing ceased. These 45 plates, along with another 42 plates, an introductory text, and brief descriptions, were republished in the present volume.Regions: Croatian Littoral, Dalmatia, Bay of Kotor, MontenegroLudwig Salvator von Habsburg (Florence, August 4, 1847 - Brandýs nad Labem, October 12, 1915) was an Austrian archduke, scholar, and explorer, and a member of the Tuscan branch of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty. After leaving Tuscany due to political circumstances, his family settled in Bohemia in 1859. He studied philosophy, law, natural sciences, and art in Prague. As was customary for members of the ruling dynasty, he received private tutoring. The harsher climate of Bohemia did not suit his health, so he would often spend several months in Venice to stabilize his condition. As early as age 14, during his first stay in Venice, he began recording his travel impressions. During his time in Venice, he undertook his first trips to Trieste and Istria. His travels grew increasingly extensive, taking him as far as Heligoland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and England, as well as Spain, Gibraltar, and Tunisia. He dedicated his life to scientific research in the Mediterranean, sailing the region for decades aboard his steam yachts *Nixe I* and *Nixe II*, usually accompanied by an entourage of about twenty people. He published more than fifty works. He was an honorary member of six academies of sciences and some thirty scientific institutions, and a patron of scientific and artistic projects.Prvo izdanje jednog od najrje?ih Salvatorovih djela. 87 nenumeriranih kromolitografskih plo?a u boji s prikazom narodnih no?nji Hrvatskog primorja, Dalmacije, Dalmatinske zagore, Boke Kotorske, Crne Gore. Svaka je ilustracija popra?ena tekstom. Kromolitografije su nastale na temelju slika slikara Franza Bohumila Doubeka, Paula Janowitsa, Emila Lauffera, Petera Maixnera i Guida Manesa, koja su nastala prema autorovim akvarelima i fotografijama Antonija Vivesa. Popis ilustracija (plo?a) na po?etku knjige, iza predgovora. Kao i ve?ina autorovih djela, i ovo je djelo objavljeno anonimno. Godine 1870. autor po?inje izdavati seriju Die Serben an der Adria. Ihre Typen und Trachten, koja je, prema tada?njem pozivu za pretplatu, trebala imati 100 tabli i popratni tekst. Autor djela nije naveden, ve? samo umjetnici koji su pod njegovim nadzorom trebali izraditi slike - Emil Lauffer, Giudo Manes i Petr Maixner. Do 1878. godine objavljeno je devet sve??i?a s ukupno 45 tabli bez popratnog teksta te je nakon toga tiskanje prekinuto. Tih je 45 tabli, uz druge 42 table, uvodni tekst i kratke opise, ponovno objavljeno u predmetnoj kn.
