Sobre este artículo
16mo (4 1/4" x 6 1/2"), red cloth, gilt title on top cover and spine, illustrated with maps, 461 pp. Ex-library copy, rubber stamp on title page, backstrip separated from cover on one side, some extremity wear, normal aging and browning; otherwise about very good. Karl Baedeker (1801-1959) 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 information was often edited by Baedeker himself, and sons would take over and expand the business after his death. This edition provides considerable information on the Rhine, from Rotterdam to Constance. ODB.
