Baedeker’s Norway, Sweden, and Denmark (1912)
A beautiful and increasingly collectible pre–World War I Baedeker travel guide: Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, with Excursions to Iceland and Spitzbergen by Karl Baedeker, published in Leipzig in 1912.
This Tenth Edition handbook was created for travelers exploring Scandinavia during the golden age of European rail and steamship travel. Bound in the iconic red cloth with gilt lettering, Baedeker guides are prized today for their remarkable cartography, practical detail, and historical charm.
This copy retains all of its fold-out maps, plans, and panoramas — a feature often missing from surviving examples. The interior includes detailed railway routes, city plans, fjord excursions, and travel information for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Spitzbergen just before the outbreak of World War I transformed European travel forever.
A wonderful piece for collectors of antique travel books, Scandinavian history, cartography, or classic Baedeker guides.
