HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - The 1908 Egypt is one of the most sought-after Baedekers because it marks the firm's transition into modern "integrated" travel. By merging Egypt and the Sudan into one volume and adding the vignettes Baedeker created a tool that functioned as both a logistical map and a portable museum catalog. For the historian this is the Imperial Egypt-a record of the country under the height of British influence documenting the railways steamers and grand hotels like the Savoy and Shepherd's at their most opulent. SUBJECTS: Egyptology Sudan Nile Travel Archaeology Middle Eastern History Cartography Handbook Atlas Archaeological Plans Travel Literature. BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: Hinrichsen E251.
