At the end of the article the author discusses the multiple impression left by the tour of the Croatian Dramatic Society to Dubrovnik upon the cultural and political life of the Dubrovnik of the time, while, on the other hand, he maintains this to have been the most significant artistic tour undertaken by the Zagreb Drama in the 19th century.
