Giuseppe Rieger: Panorama della Costa e delle Isole di Dalmazia nei viaggi Piroscafi del Lloyd Austriaco

Prikaz istočne jadranske obale od rta Komparo na ulazu u pulsku luku do Budve u Crnoj Gori. Prvo izdanje objavljeno je 1850. godine, godinu prije predmetnog izdanja. Zgusnuta panorama prikazana u neprekinutom slijedu složena je lijepljenjem u traku dugačku 11,85 m koja je presavijanjem složena u 41 list te ukoričena u kartonske korice. Zemljopisno nazivlje i zemljopisne uputnice ispisani su iznad i ispod panoramskog prikaza. Panoramu je – kao i panoramu Costa occidentale dell' Istria, prvi put objavljenu 1845. godine – za potrebe parobrodarstva Austrijskog Lloyda izradio tršćanski akvarelist Giuseppe Rieger, služeći se prvenstveno panoramama tiskanim u atlasu Carta di cabottaggio del mare Adriatico, te uz obilazak terena radi umjetničkog uvida u izgled obala. Oba izdanja panorama uvjetovana su parobrodarskom linijom Austrijskog Lloyda Trst – Dalmacija, otvorenom 20. kolovoza 1838. godine, na kojoj su Lloydovi parobrodi prometovali od Trsta uz zapadnu obalu Istre, uz rt Kamenjak te dalje Mali Lošinj – Zadar – Šibenik – Split – Hvar – Korčula – Dubrovnik – Herceg Novi – Kotor. Stoga je jasno da su upravo ti krajolici prikazani na Riegerovim panoramama. Iako je razlog njihove pripreme, litografiranja i tiska bio turistička promidžba istočnojadranske obale i otočja, ponajprije radi povećanja broja putnika na Lloydovim parobrodarskim linijama i s tim u vezi induciranjem turizma, Riegerove su panorame mogli koristiti i onodobni pomorci u praktičnoj navigaciji istim morskim vodama. Budući da su oba sveska, s minimalnim dotjerivanjima, izdana više puta nego što bi to tražila plovidbena praksa, a k tome panorame imaju i umjetničke kvalitete, nedvojbeno je da su doista bile prihvaćene od putnika Lloydovih parobroda.

Giuseppe Rieger - tršćanski akvarelist. Četrdesetih godina 19. stoljeća izradio dvije knjige panorama istočnog Jadrana, služeći se prvenstveno panoramama tiskanima u atlasu Carta di cabottaggio del mare Adriatico, ali i obilazeći teren radi umjetničkog uvida u izgled obala - Costa occidentale dell' Istria (prikaz obale Istre od Trsta do Pule, 1845.) i Panorama della Costa e delle Isole di Dalmazia (prikaz istočne jadranske obale od rta Komparo kod Pule do Budve u Crnoj Gori, 1850.). Oba su izdanja panorama uvjetovana parobrodarskom linijom Austrijskog Lloyda Trst - Dalmacija, otvorenom 20. 8. 1838. godine, no mogli su ih, naravno, koristiti i ostali pomorci. Ipak, glavna je svrha knjihova objavljivanja bilo povećanje broja putnika na Lloydovim parobrodarskim linijama te, vezano uz to, iniciranje turizma. 

ENGLISH:

Giuseppe Rieger: Panorama della Costa e delle Isole di Dalmazia nei viaggi Piroscafi del Lloyd Austriaco

View of the eastern Adriatic coast from Cape Komparo at the entrance to the port of Pula to Budva in Montenegro.

The first edition was published in 1850., a year before the edition in question. The condensed panorama shown in an uninterrupted sequence was assembled by gluing into a strip 11.85 m long, which was folded into 41 sheets and bound in a cardboard cover.

Geographical nomenclature and geographical directions are printed above and below the panoramic view.

The panorama - as well as the panorama of Costa occidentale dell' Istria, first published in 1845. - was created for the needs of Austrian Lloyd's shipping industry by Trieste watercolorist Giuseppe Rieger, primarily using panoramas printed in the atlas Carta di cabottaggio del mare Adriatico, and with a tour of the terrain for an artistic insight into the appearance of the coasts.

Both editions of the panoramas are conditioned by the Trieste - Dalmatia steamship line of the Austrian Lloyd, opened on August 20th, 1838., on which Lloyd's steamships traveled from Trieste along the west coast of Istria, along Cape Kamenjak and on to Mali Lošinj - Zadar - Šibenik - Split - Hvar - Korčula - Dubrovnik - Herceg Novi - Kotor. 
Therefore, it is clear that precisely these landscapes are depicted on Rieger's panoramas. Although the reason for their preparation, lithography and printing was tourist promotion of the eastern Adriatic coast and islands, primarily to increase the number of passengers on Lloyd's steamship lines and in this connection to induce tourism, Rieger's panoramas could also be used by sailors of the time in practical navigation of the same sea waters.

Since both volumes, with minimal adjustments, were issued more times than navigation practice would require, and the panoramas also have artistic qualities, there is no doubt that they were indeed accepted by the passengers of Lloyd's steamships.

Giuseppe Rieger - watercolorist from Trieste. 
In the forties of the 19th century, he created two books of panoramas of the eastern Adriatic, using primarily the panoramas printed in the atlas Carta di cabottaggio del mare Adriatico, but also visiting the field for an artistic insight into the appearance of the coasts - Costa occidentale dell' Istria (view of the coast of Istria from Trieste to Pula, 1845.) and Panorama della Costa e delle Isole di Dalmazia (view of the eastern Adriatic coast from Cape Komparo near Pula to Budva in Montenegro, 1850.). 
Both editions of the panoramas are conditioned by the steamship line of the Austrian Lloyd Trieste - Dalmatia, opened on August 20th, 1838., but, of course, other seafarers could also use them. However, the main purpose of publishing the books was to increase the number of passengers on Lloyd's steamship lines and, related to that, to initiate tourism.
