Adolph Baedeker

17 Dec 2007

If you have been searching for "Baedeker" on eBay recently, you may have seen this item, a map of Palestine, published by A. Baedeker. This will be Karl Baedeker's younger brother Adolph (or Adolf), who started a publishing/bookselling operation in Rotterdam in early 1837 (so the map will be a bit later than "ca 1830"). He was nine years younger than Karl and later moved to Cologne.
