A traveller's gazetteer of European spas, sea baths and hydropathic establishments compiled by B. Bradshaw and issued in London by Trübner & Co. in 1884, aimed at British invalids and their doctors planning continental cures. The plates are line-engraved maps and route diagrams on tinted paper — simplified railway networks, coastal town plans with hatched relief, and inset vignettes of casinos, opera houses and piers — useful for map textures, schematic route lines and boxed label lettering.
