Rail journeys, spa visits and Alpine excursions shape these maps from Austria-Hungary including Dalmatia and Bosnia, Karl Baedeker's handbook to the Habsburg lands as they stood before the First World War. The tenth edition, published in Leipzig in 1905, gave travellers city plans, mountain maps and routes reaching from Vienna and Budapest to the Adriatic ports, the Bohemian spas and the Transylvanian towns. Street plans lead the visitor through the cities, Danube sheets follow the river from one settlement to the next, and Alpine maps set out the valleys, passes and resorts of the Dolomites, the Salzkammergut and the Carinthian mountains. Names such as Temesvar, Hermannstadt and Fiume belong to that older map, for places now known as Timișoara, Sibiu and Rijeka.
