Description: Red cloth. English : 3d rev. ed. ciii, 660 pages folded frontispiece, maps (some folded) plans (some folded) 16 cm. With 25 maps and 35 plans. Lacking most of front map, no title page. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. Ships daily. Founded in 1827, Baedeker guides gained popularity during the second half of the 19th century (so much so that Baedekering became part of everyday language). They were an invaluable and essential part of "civilized travel" in the fin-de-siecle. Baedeker was known for both its accuracy and attention to detail. Included in each are intricate colored fold-out maps and floor plans. Baedeker's comments and recommendations open a fascinating window into the mores of a world now past.
