Georg Braun

The title is not fair with the content, since mainly present images from cities of Europe/Germany. I was expecting more cities from other parts of the world. For the cities actually presented in the book, the reader can travel to the old ages, and it will be better, if the reader know the city as is today...

I have read about this book for many years, saw samples of what was in it in b/w, and the old version that I saw was too expensive for me at the time. When I saw a new version on Amazon I snapped it up. A Taschen book, glorious color, 2 page spreads, a historical treasure.
