Comparative Analysis of the Graphic Documentation of Maksimir Material for a Historical Matrix
Bruno Milić
Abstract
The author made a detailed analysis of available maps and established that the earliest site plans of Maksimir Park, made by engineer Leonard Baron von Zornberg in 1846 and Ivan (C.?) Zasche in 1852, are precise and reliable documents about the condition of the garden in the mid-eighteenth century. He further established that Zasche´s drawings are of equal documentary value because they show views of the garden´s most important parts. Thus this graphic material has been confirmed as a reliable foundation for further research and for practical work on the renewal and revitalisation of Maksimir, that beautiful historical and cultural monument of the highest level of landscape gardening.
