This Biermenn’s view shows the town of Dubrovnik from the South East. In the foreground, the author emphasizes luxurious vegetation in Dubrovnik surroundings that adds romantic notes to the whole area. This is the zone covered by the suburb of Ploče where rich citizens edified their summer residences. In the background, we can see Dubrovnik where city walls and fortresses can be recognized. Behind the town, the slopes of the mountain Srđ are shown. 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.
