rare Biedermeier edition

A good example of an early Baedeker edition.

This was the last edition to have the title "Rheinreise", following editions were published as "Rheinlande".This series first started by Roehling in 1828 and then published by Baedeker in 1832 was one of the longest running series (34 editions from 1832 to 1931). Maps include Strasburg,, Frankfurt and Bonn. The attractive views include Schloss zu Heidelberg and Cologne. This copy is bound in the attractive yellow Biedermeier boards used by Karl Baedeker during 1840's and early 1850's.

Seventh edition. pp. lii, 344, 15 engraved views including frontispiece, 2 folding maps at rear, 9 town plans, some minor spotting on a few pages, previous owner's stamp and initials on title-page; publisher's original yellow pictorial Biedermeier boards, worn and rubbed along spine and extremities; otherwise a very good attractive copy.
