KIPFERLING, JOSEPH KARL: CROATIAN COAST FROM EASTERN ISTRIA TO ŠIBENIK

The map is a part of a series showing sections of Croatia that became parts of the Austrian Empire as a result of the fall of the Venetian Republic. As such, this series was published in the atlas called "Atlas des Oesterreichischen Kaiserthums", which displays the Croatian coast from Eastern Istria to Šibenik. The green border shows the line of delimitation between the Austrian and Ottoman empires in the hinterland. Relief is depicted by shading and Velebit is particularly emphasized. The map also contains postal stations and routes. When the French Illyrian Provinces were founded four years later, in 1809, the political-administrative content of the map no longer corresponded to reality.
