'''''The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and Picture''''' or the '''''Kronprinzenwerk''''' ("Crown Prince's Work") is a 24-volume encyclopedia of regional studies, initiated in 1883 by [[Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria|Crown Prince Rudolf]] of [[Austria-Hungary]].
The encyclopedia describes countries, peoples, landscapes and regions of the Austro-Hungarian [[Crown Land]]s. It was also published in a 21-volume Hungarian edition ("Az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia írásban és képben"). The German edition was edited by the history and geography professor, Josef Weil von Weilen (1830-1889), while the Hungarian edition was edited by the novelist and dramatist [[Mór Jókai]]. Only the German edition was financially successful. The Hungarian edition includes some [[Antisemitism|anti-Semitic]] remarks that are missing from the German edition.
The volumes were issued from December 1885 through June 1902 in 398 installments, from the "{{ill|k.k. Hof- und Staatsdruckerei|de}}" (Court and State Printers) and {{ill|Alfred von Hölder|de}}, a publisher and bookseller. They contain 587 contributions, totaling 12,596 pages with  4,529 illustrations. The articles were written by 432 contributors, including Crown Prince Rudolf himself.<ref>[http://www.wdl.org/en/item/4312/?institution=austrian-national-library&view_type=gallery Hutsul Wedding] - World Digital Library ( {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302112618/http://www.wdl.org/en/item/4312/?institution=austrian-national-library&view_type=gallery |date=March 2, 2016 }})</ref><ref>[http://english.habsburger.net/module-en/201edie-oesterreichisch-ungarische-monarchie-in-wort-und-bild201c The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Words and Pictures] ({{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111217054125/http://english.habsburger.net/module-en/201edie-oesterreichisch-ungarische-monarchie-in-wort-und-bild201c |date=December 17, 2011 }})</ref>

The volume number corresponds to the list at the end of the 24th volume. Notably, Poland is not mentioned in the encyclopaedia because, at the time, the Imperial [[partitions of Poland]] were considered final by the German authorities in the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] as well as [[Austria-Hungary]].<ref name="L-W">{{cite web |author=Susan Parman |url=http://h-net.msu.edu/cgi-bin/logbrowse.pl?trx=vx&list=h-ethnic&month=9606&week=d&msg=PtNsXQsdp9FuZ8KN7uBcCw&user=&pw= |title=Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment |website=Humanities & Social Sciences Online |type=Book review |date=26 June 1996 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306074642/http://h-net.msu.edu/cgi-bin/logbrowse.pl?trx=vx&list=h-ethnic&month=9606&week=d&msg=PtNsXQsdp9FuZ8KN7uBcCw&user=&pw= |archive-date=March 6, 2012}}</ref>
