The study focuses on "pictorial topographies", i.e. series of vedutas, the creators of which aimed, at least to a certain extent, for topographic accuracy. Based on the works mentioned in Přehled vývoje vlastivědného popisu Čech [The development of homeland studies description of Bohemia] by František Roubík and works mostly published in the last 20 years, the author proposes various ways of classifying the series, which facilitates more accurate historical research. It also examines the transformation in their typology, which was compiled at the turn of the 19th century and was influenced by the Enlightenment and Romanticism.
