The Serbs on the Adriatic (Die Serben an der Adria), published in five installments between 1870 and 1878. Archduke Ludwig Salvator
1. Traditional costumes from the surroundings of Knin: Knin, with its high mountain fortress, has perhaps preserved its traditional costume more than any other region of Dalmatia. Being far from the sea and only lightly touched by outside influences, there was neither reason nor example to abandon it.
2. Woman from Budva: The picturesque southernmost town of Dalmatia, jutting out into the sea like a peninsula, also has its charming women’s costume. The large white headscarf is tied under the chin. The shirt sleeves are wide and open, and the skirt is usually brown.
3. Market in Herceg Novi: (no detailed description, but we can see many Serbian costumes from the Old Herzegovina)
4. Costumes from the surroundings of Zadar: The peasant women from the area around Zadar are particularly skilled at riding in the manner of men. As soon as they are finished, they ride straight back, for they do not enjoy being in the town. Sometimes they pause to listen to a lone flutist. In earlier times, many men still wore the hanging braid, which looked quite peculiar beneath the red cap.
