1899 The Eastern Alps: Including the Bavarian Highlands, Tryol, Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola

Description

Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The ninth edition, revised and augmented. Corresponds with the twenty-eighth German edition. 

In the publisher's original cloth binding. 

With forty-seven maps (fifteen folding, including frontispiece), ten plans and seven panoramas (six folding). Collated, complete. 

The Baedeker handbooks, from the company of German publisher Karl Baedeker, set the standard for authoritative guidebooks for tourists. They contain, among other things, maps and information regarding routes, travel facilities, noteworthy sights, attractions and museums, written by specialists. 

The preface states this to be a constantly revised handbook due to "matters which are constantly undergoing alteration" and is organised into five sections (I. Southern Bavaria; II. Salzburg, Salzkammergut, and Hohe Tauern; III. Northern Tyrol; IV. Southern Tyrol; V. Alps of Upper and Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola). 

Last page incorrectly printed as 468 instead of 568. 

Four of the maps have been neatly lined with pink ink to presumably show the previous owner's routes travelled in 1907. The locations of said maps are noted to the front free endpaper.
