Sobre este artículo
Leipsig / London / New York: Karl Baedeker, 1907. Twenty-Second Edition. Hardcover. Very Good-. Wagner & Debes. 16mo. Pp. xl, 551. Illustrated with 69 maps, 18 plans and 11 panoramas, several in colors and/or folding out. Index. Publisher's textured red cloth over flexible boards, titles stamped in gilt on the cover and spine, blind stamped decorations, red silk bookmark ribbon, edges marbled, publisher's advertising on front endpapers, map index on back endpapers. Bookmark ribbon detached but present, cover edges rubbed and corners bumped, spine lightly soiled and ends chipped, owner ink signature on front endpaper, fold-out maps and panoramas mildly age toned with a three-inch tear to the first one, and one fold nearly separated on the Eggishorn panorama. Withal, a sturdy, presenatable copy. The first version of this travel guide was published in the 1860s.
Carefully researched and frequently updated, with contributions from travelers, Baedeker's pocket guides were essential baggage for the savvy tourist. The thoroughness with which they describe a country now affords an informed glimpse of the place, the people and their customs at a specific time in history. The clear and beautiful lithographed maps, plans and panoramas created by the firm of Eduard Wagner & Ernst Debes were unequalled. Indispensable for researchers, a treat for armchair historians, and prized by collectors.
