"Sketches from the Subject and Neighbour Lands of Venice" by Edward A. Freeman is a travelogue and historical account written in the late 19th century. The work offers rich insights into the architectural and historical significance of various locations in and around Venice, particularly focusing on the regions of Dalmatia and Istria. Freeman blends travel narrative with historical commentary, providing readers not only with descriptions of the landscapes and structures but also with the rich historical tapestry of the area. The opening of this volume sets the tone by explaining its aims as a companion to Freeman's previous work on Italian architecture and history. He outlines that it comprises reflections and essays from several travels, particularly during 1875 and 1881, through lands that have significant historical changes, including Dalmatia, Istria, and the Venetian possessions. His initial discussions touch on various towns, highlighting their transformations through time, the lingering influences of past rulers, and the interplay of differing cultures within these regions, gradually immersing the reader into the historical layers that characterize these lands.
