Embroidered dress, village ceremonies and the Tatra mountains fill prints by Adrian and Marianne Stokes, the artist couple whose illustrated Hungary appeared in 1909. Adrian (1854–1935) was an English landscape painter and Marianne (1855–1927), born in Austria, was known for figure painting, so their travels produced both scenery and people. River valleys along the Danube and upland views sit beside rural houses, religious observances, agricultural work and portraits. The book described historical Hungary, so places now in Slovakia, Romania and neighbouring states are included.
