Description

Explore a historic era of global exploration with this five-volume facsimile reprint from Edition Synapse. This collection features nine travel guides and handbooks originally published for Western travelers during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These volumes capture a transformative period in history following the 1869 opening of the Suez Canal and the completion of the transcontinental Pacific railway in America. As steamship services and rail networks made travel to the Far East simpler and more affordable, these guides responded to the rising demand from international passengers. This set provides a direct look at the documents that helped shape the new phase of world travel during a time when the world was becoming drastically smaller.
