A very nice copy of a famous illustrated book. Baden-Baden, is in Southwest Germany, in the Black Forest. It is one of Europe’s most fashionable spas. Its hot mineral springs were used by the Romans, and architectural remains have been found in the city. It was the residence of the margrave of Baden until the early 18th century.
