This map image shows the view on the town of Split from the mountain Marjan. In the foreground, a picturesque landscape of the mountain Marjan is featured with its romantic promenade and luxurious vegetation. That part of the mountain offers the most scenic view of the town of Split with its recognizable palaces and bell-tower of St. Doimo. The massive of the mount Mosor rising above Split with its precipitous slopes additionally emphasizes the gentleness of the natural and cultural landscape of the town of Split. This Biermann’s view was inserted in his graphic map issued in 1875 in Trieste by Austrian Lloyd.
BIERMANN, F.
Biermann, F, worked in the second half of the 19th century. In 1875, he edited his graphic map containing town views of Istrian and Dalmatian towns that was published by Austrian Lloyd. Biermann’s views are esteemed for their artistic value, but as the author had never personally seen the towns whose views he depicted, except for their artistry Biermann’s views have no documentary value.
