About the book >.>.> This rare 1913 special edition of Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide shows a Europe soon to be devastated by the First World War. Its three sections comprise contemporary rail service timetables short guides to the great cities of the Continent – Paris Venice Vienna Berlin and innumerable others as far east as Jerusalem – at the height of their fin de si?cle glamour and a wealth of advertisements designed to entice the Edwardian tourist. It was an earlier version of this very book that guided Phileas Fogg on his travels and this 1913 edition will be an invaluable resource for the modern traveller who wishes to explore Europe as it was at the turn of the last century – the great age of the Orient Express.
