About This Item
Karl Baedeker, Publisher, 1/1/1909. Fifth or Later Edition. Hardcover. Good. Red cloth. English 5th ed. xxxvi, 454 pages frontispiece, maps (some folded) plans (some folded) 17 cm. With 16maps and 55plans. Hardcover. Some fray to spine edge. Tears to a few maps. Clean, unmarked pages. <br><br> 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.
