Baedeker’s Switzerland - 1911 Guidebook with Fold-Out Maps and & Panoramas

An early 20th-century travel guide from the celebrated Baedeker series, Switzerland, edited and published by Karl Baedeker. This 1911 English-language edition reflects the height of Baedeker’s reputation for meticulous scholarship, cartographic precision, and practical detail.

Illustrated throughout with numerous finely printed fold-out color maps, city plans, and dramatic panoramic plates—including alpine views and town prospects—this volume offers an extraordinary snapshot of Switzerland on the eve of the First World War. The maps are richly detailed, with topography rendered in Baedeker’s distinctive palette, and remain highly appealing to collectors of cartography, travel literature, and Alpine history.

Bound in the classic Baedeker red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, the book retains its original publisher’s format and ribbon marker. An excellent example of one of the most influential travel guides ever produced.

Binding remains firm; with light edge wear and mild rubbing to extremities. Spine evenly toned. Fold-out maps and panoramic plates with strong color and clear detail. 

Condition: Very Good.

Size: 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.

A well-preserved and visually rich Baedeker, prized for its cartography, panoramas, and historical insight into early 20th-century European travel.
