Description from the seller
Karl Baedeker - Greece: Handbook for Travellers - 1909
An excellent, highly sought-after copy of Karl Baedeker's "Greece: Handbook for Travellers", published in Leipzig in 1909. This is the Fourth Revised Edition, which historical cartography experts consider the absolute finest, most comprehensive, and ultimate English-language edition ever produced for Greece.
The volume features Baedeker’s signature flexible red cloth cover with crisp gold gilt lettering. It is richly loaded with historical maps, travel itineraries, and archeological architectural layouts.
Pages: cxxvi (126 pages of introduction, historical context, and practical travel hints) + 447 pages of deep itinerary text.
Complete Cartography & Illustrations: Includes 16 maps, 30 plans, 2 diagrams, and the iconic multi-fold Panorama of Athens (taken from Mount Lycabettus).
Rear Pocket Map: Features the crucial large folding map of the "Kingdom of Hellas" safely housed inside the dedicated rear cloth pocket.
Condition Report:
Binding: Hardcover in original red cloth. The binding remains tight and structurally sound. Light shelf wear to the edges, and slight, natural age-fading to the spine fabric typical for a travel book of this age.
Interior: Very clean text pages with typical light toning. Marbled text-block edges are well-preserved.
Maps & Foldouts: The delicate large pull-out maps, city plans, and the panoramic view of Athens are complete, fully intact, and in crisp condition with clean fold lines.
Photos supplement descriptions.
