Prior to both World Wars prospective editions were abandonned. This could well have been a publisher's dummy or perhaps a sales sample There's the possibilty that it was produced as a prop for the film industry but the acuracy of the blocking to the binding suggests a Baedeker production.

Karl Ludwig Johannes Baedeker known universally as Karl Baedeker 3 November 1801 - 4 October 1859 was a German publisher whose company Baedeker set the standard for authoritative guidebooks for tourists. Karl Baedeker was descended from a long line of printers booksellers and publishers. He was the eldest of ten children of Gottschalk Diederich Bädeker 1778-1841 who had inherited the publishing house founded by his own father Zacharias Gerhard Bädeker 1750-1800. The company also published the local newspaper the Essendische Zeitung and the family expected that Karl too would eventually join the firm. Karl changed the spelling of the family name from Bädeker with the umlaut to Baedeker around 1850. Baedeker is often referred to as the 'father of modern tourism'. In 1846 Baedeker introduced his famous 'star' ratings for sights attractions and lodgings in the third edition of his Handbuch für Reisende durch Deutschland und den Oesterreichischen Kaiserstaat - an idea based on the Murray guides star system. This edition was also his first 'experimental' red guide. He also decided to call his travel guides 'handbooks' following the example of John Murray III. Baedeker's early guides had tan covers but from 1856 onwards Murray's red bindings and gilt lettering became the familiar hallmark of all Baedeker guides as well and the content became famous for its clarity detail and accuracy.
