The border between the ideal of the cultural landscape (with architecture) and its former real form was unclear – in the book devoted to „images of noble domains“ (vedutas, old maps, pictorial maps) author analyses set of questions of the context of origins of these representations of aristocratic domains, their conception, form and meaning, who ordered them and who created them and what was their role in the aristocratic self-presentation.
