Description

Folding Maps, Folding Plates, Publishers' Original Binding

Fifth edition. 

In the original limp cloth binding.

A fascinating traveller's guidebook to Russia from Baedeker, named after its founder Karl Baedeker. Inspired by the look and popularity of John Murray's handbooks, these volumes took on a familiar look of red bindings and gilt lettering.

Covering travel costs, accommodations, restaurants, timetables and the Russian alphabet, as well as a historical overview and guides to various key routes and tours, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Odessa and more. 

With nineteen maps, twenty-five plans and seven floor plans, ten of which are fold-out. Collated, complete. 

Condition

Internally, front free endpapers are detached but present, as well as two of the folding maps. Pages 5-12 are also detached but present.
