"The original unillustrated German edition was published in Wies-baden in 1819 as Die Rheingegenden von Mainz bis C�lln and it is clear from the.'Vorerinnerung' which is dated 14 June 1819 that Ackermann's edition was already planned; it seems possible in the circumstances in fact that the text was commissioned by Ackermann as were the views for the plates.Another German edition this time containing twenty-four views was published in Frankfurt in 1822" Abbey. "Containing a complete History and Picturesque Description of a portion of Country so full of curious and interesting circumstances as well as so resplendent for its landscape grandeur and beauty. The Work will be embellished with Twenty-four highly finished and coloured Engravings from Drawings expressly made by an eminent Artist resident near the Banks of the Rhine and habitually familiar with every part of it.The romantic beautiful and ever-varying Scenery of this River forms a distinguished feature of every modern foreign Tour; and no one can consider himself as an accomplished traveller who is not more or less acquainted with it.Baron von Gerning whose literary character is so well established in Germany has undertaken to write the Historical Part; and Mr. Schutz so well known as an artist will furnish the Drawings" Ackermann's prospectus for the completed work printed on the rear wrapper of Part I and others. "There are definitely later issues of the book.and these can be recognized by having plate numbers at the top right-hand corner. The impressions in these issues are poor and the colouring less good" Abbey. Abbey Travel 217. Martin Hardie pp. 107-108 and 312. Prideaux pp. 337 and 375.
