D2

23 Nov 2006

Here is a copy of Rheinreise 2 (1835) for sale on eBay. Unfortunately, it only comes with a "Buy it Now" price, and no auction, so I haven't included it in the database. Still, it is a copy of the very first travel guide to have been published by Karl Baedeker, so it is quite an important work...

(The seller shows it as Hinrichsen D2 but that's wrong - it is D1, even though it is the second edition, because the first edition was published by Fr. Röhling, Baedeker's friend and predecessor. It's an easy mistake to make.)
