Dalmatia: the Land Where East Meets West Maude Holbach

DALMATIA: The Land Where East Meets West is MAUDE M. HOLBACH's second book of travel in Eastern Europe. First published in 1910, this is an anthropological travel journal of an often-overlooked kingdom, where Mrs. Holbach and her husband met with historians and government officials, all of whom were gracious and anxious to share the wonders of their country. The Holbachs journeyed to the major cities and historical sites in Dalmatia: Zara, Spalato, the Riviera of the Seven Castles, and the island of Lesina, among others. Accompanying Mrs. Holbach's historical accounts are Mr. Holbach's illustrative photographs, giving readers a chance to explore Dalmatia for themselves. Anyone interested in travel literature or the history of Eastern European countries will find this book an easy and informative read.
