SCHLIEBEN, WILHELM ERNST AUGUST VON: MAP OF THE SURROUNDINGS OF DUBROVNIK

This Austrian map shows administrative and territorial organisation of a part of Dalmatia as it was under Austrian control at that time, more precisely Dubrovnik and Kotor districts. The map was probably compiled sometime in the mid-19th century after the so-called second Austrian administration of Dalmatia (1813-1918) and before the Berlin Congress, held in 1878, according to which Bosnia was also placed under the administration of Austria (Bosnia and Herzegovina shown on this map are still identified as Turkish territories i.e. as parts of the so-called European Turkey). The map was evidently compiled for the needs of that time administration as part of a general overview of the then administrative and territorial organisation of the Habsburg Monarchy. It shows only the district borders with major settlements. The map’s mileage scale is in geographical miles.
