Riegerove panorame Dalmacije

Rieger's works COSTA OCCIDENTALE / DELL'ISTRIA disegnata per ordine del / Lloyd austriaco and PANORAMA / della Costa e delle Isole di / DALMAZIA / nei viaggi dei Piroscafi del Lloyd Austriaco both of which were published a number of times in Trieste since the middle of the 19th century have not so far been valorised by scholars. Since we are dealing here with very valuable panoramic representations of the coastline which, in addition, possess a certain artistic quality, , the author draws attention to those which give a panoramic depiction of the Dalmatian coast. The investigation shows that in constructing his panoramas Reiger relied upon the official maritime cartography which was available to him, primarily on the Milan ATLAS for navigators from 1822-1823 as well as on other navigation textbooks. In this sense, his panoramas are a valuable source for familiarizing ourselves with the coastal toponymy of that time from cape Kumpar near Pola almost to Spič which at the time constituted the Lloyd steamship line connecting these points and the most important ports between them. In addition, his panoramas offer other data of importance for the history of navigation such as, without doubt, its relevance for establishing the degree of poleogenesis of the seaports on the Croatian Adriatic sea of the time. In order to gain these new insights in was necessary to investigate this valuable document. The text offers the essential findings of the analysis.
