Baedeker's London & its Environs 1900, Historical Maps - Old House Books

The ultimate London guide a century ago. Baedeker's guide books first appeared in 1827 and by the time this edition of London and its Environs was published in 1900 they had earned a well deserved reputation for meticulous accuracy and encyclopaedic content. Each successive edition included up to the minute revisions obtained by an army of local agents the accuracy of whose work was constantly checked by members of the Baedeker family who travelled incognito throughout Europe checking the facts and figures that appeared in their books. London and its Environs 1900 brings to life, in astonishing detail, a complete picture of all that a visitor might wish to know about the world's greatest city at the close of the Victorian era. In over 500 pages with a fold out map of London and the surrounding countryside, numerous plans of notable buildings and 31 pages of coloured street plans, not only are all the major sites and attractions mentioned, but there is copious advice on etiquette; security (Carry gold but if bank notes are used record the serial numbers so they can be traced if stolen); Accommodation (even smaller hotels are clean and comfortable); Restaurants (The Savoy, a high class establishment); Public Houses (wine cannot be recommended); travel (from USA by Cunard Line) Hardback 512 pages 32 pages of coloured street maps, plans and railways.
