Abstract

Eduard Seis, a peculiar personality, contributed greatly - through the preparation of visitor’s guides - to the strong development of
Lovran as a tourist resort at the beginning of the 20th century.
Five guides in three editions, and two revisions were published under his guidance between 1906 and 1914. The subject of this
contribution is the analysis of these guides upon which they are validated as a valuable historical resource. It is attempted to provide specifi c methodology of access to guides as historical resources, but also to evaluate and estimate their real as well as potential value and importance by analyzing their formal structure and content. This should shed light on the important piece of mosaic of historical reality of Lovran and Lovranština, especially the touristic one.
