The country became an equal partner within the Dual Monarchy when the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 was concluded. Architecture and all forms of design flourished as never before. A distinctly Central European taste emerged, in which the artistic presence of the German-speaking lands was augmented by the influence of France and England. As this process unfolded, attempts were made to find a uniquely Hungarian form, based on motifs borrowed from peasant art as well as real (or fictitious) historical antecedents.    \"Motherland and Progress\" – the motto of 19th-century Hungarian reformers – reflected the programme embraced by the country in its drive to define its identity and shape its future.","brand":"Birkhauser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091438334295,"sku":"9783035610093","price":59.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/motherland-and-progress-hungarian-architecture-and-design-1800-1900-9783035610093","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
