The original card wrappers remain intact with the exposed pamphlet-stitched spine holding firm. The vivid chromolithograph illustration of the poppies on the front wrapper remains exceptionally bright and unrubbed, though the wrappers themselves exhibit some expected age-toning, mild surface dusting, and a few faint spots, along with minor creasing along the spine fold. Internally, the booklet is quite well-preserved; the leaves are generally clean with only very light, occasional foxing and faint age-toning at the margins. The charming chromolithographed vignettes retain their strong, crisp colours without offsetting or fading, making this a tight, pleasingly preserved copy of a fragile late-nineteenth-century production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: First Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThis evocative work by Swiss architect and artist Salomon Schlatter (published here under S. D. Schlatter) features a series of charming chromolithographed vignettes depicting romanticised alpine and lakeside landscapes, capturing the essence of the late nineteenth-century wanderlust tradition. The quality of the colour printing remains striking, reflecting the high standards of Swiss lithography during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe work is genuinely scarce on the open market, with no other copies presently traced in commerce across major antiquarian aggregates. It stands as a lovely survival of a delicate, string-tied provincial publication that would typically have suffered heavy handling or loss over the past century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eA rare and beautifully illustrated late-nineteenth-century Swiss keepsake, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"82\"\u003eMein Wanderbuch\u003c\/i\u003e offers a nostalgic glimpse into the alpine wanderlust of the era.
