About This Item
16mo (4 1/4" x 6 1/2"), red cloth, gilt title on top cover and spine, illustrated with maps, 330 pp. Very slight extremity wear, cover lettering faded, especially on spine, corners bumped, some aging and browning; otherwise very good. Karl Baedeker (1801-1859) was born in Essen, and attended Heidelberg University. His family was involved in the publishing and bookselling business, and around 1828 he entered the travel guide business. Baedeker created a different kind of travel book that opened up tourism for a new class of travelers, by guiding the tourist to the principal attractions in a country or area. This is the German edition of his travel guide to Northern Germany. Contains many maps, including a folding map in the rear pocket. ODB
