Beschreibung

Very rare tourist guide for English-speaking travelers to the Yucatan peninsula. Although works on the Yucatan were published throughout the 19th century, those publication were in the form of travelogues or scientific research narratives. This little booklet is certainly among the first for the sole purpose of helping tourists navigate the area. It includes abundant information on the city of Merida and its attractions, as well as information on how to make side excursions to some of the more famous Mayan ruins such as Chichen-Itza. The second part of the book is an English-Spanish dictionary. Black-and-white photos throughout. Numerous advertisements by local businesses. 12mo (16.5 x 12cm), 88pp. With original wrappers, but wrappers are detached and have a few chips. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1708103138071
