Description
According to the elaborately engraved cartouche, typical of the Homann Heirs firm, all one had to do was use their pointer finger to locate where a row and column meet. This provided the reader information that “answers 7,798 questions” about traveling between various cities in Europe. Since it was a German publishing house, particular emphasis has been given to cities in that country.
