The first part appeared in 1904 in Prague at Mercy. - "After the Balearics, the most extensive monograph by Ludwig Salvator on the southernmost of the Ionian Islands, with over 1000 pages in two volumes. After centuries of Venetian rule and a subsequent eventful history, the island was struck in 1953 by a devastating series of earthquakes that destroyed nearly all buildings and a large part of its rich cultural heritage. The monograph published by the Archduke in 1904 thus represents a cultural heritage of inestimable value" (quoted from the online presentation of the Ludwig-Salvator-Gesellschaft). - Worn and bumped, front cover stained. Inside, very good copy!
