About the Book: This charming booklet was published in 1939, during the Swiss National Exhibition in Zürich. It appeared shortly before or around the beginning of the Second World War, at a time when the Swiss tourism industry was promoting domestic travel and presenting Switzerland as a distinctive, attractive, and culturally unified country. The booklet provides information on numerous regions of Switzerland and includes maps showing city plans, railways, and roads, as well as information on various tourist attractions. It is bilingual, with text in both German and French.
This rare booklet has some significant staining, but is otherwise in good condition. Please see pictures for more details.
