Dalmatia in the volume Die österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild
Ivan Pederin
Abstract
The volume on Dalmatia being a part of the series Die österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild aimed to display this province and assign it a place in the Austrian commonwealth. In the volume were inserted articles displaying Dalmatia as a whole, it means articles on history, archaeology, fine arts, literature, ethnography, and finally articles on economy, trade and agriculture. These articles stemmed mainly from foreigners that settled in Dalmatia, not by vernaculars as most of the other volumes on other Austrian countries. These articles resulted in a statement that culture and specially ancient culture of Dalmatia by far exceeds its economy. Modern economy and civilization was markedly under developed and so was the traffic infrastructure, the road net, no connection to the railway net of the Monarchy. The Monarchy was by no means successful in Dalmatia as it was in Bohemia or Hungary.
