Baedeker's Russia

Step into the final years of Imperial Russia with this remarkable 1914 edition of Baedeker’s Russia with Teheran, Port Arthur, and Peking — one of the most sought-after travel guides from the legendary Karl Baedeker publishing house. Bound in the iconic red cloth boards with gilt lettering, this antique handbook captures Russia and surrounding regions just before the outbreak of World War I and the fall of the Tsarist Empire. A fascinating blend of travel history, cartography, and cultural record, this volume remains highly collectible over a century later. This copy retains its original folding maps and city plans, a major factor in Baedeker collectibility and increasingly difficult to find complete.
