1912. With photogravure frontispiece and 33 other illustrations in
halftone mostly from original photographs by Otto Holbach. The
author recounts the history of Richard the Lionhearted with the
perspective of having literally traced the footsteps he took on his
travels to the Holy Land. Renowned as a Crusader and gallant
knight, he spent all but six months of his reign outside of England
campaigning or in captivity. Battle leader of the Third Crusade,
Richard was shipwrecked near Venice on his return in 1192 and
imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria.
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.
