vintage Baedeker guides

[Waldemar Kurtz]

I found out that there's quite a few pre World War One vintage Baedeker guides at my local library. this means that there might be hundreds of regional and city maps(1907 to 1914) that are no longer under copyright which might be useful for the OFF team in creating realistic scenery.

 

if the team is interested, I might be able to copy or scan some of these and pass them along.

W,

 

Are you talking about these? http://contueor.com/baedeker/

 

If so, they might be of help to us if we get into designing scenery in the future.

 

Try sending Pol a PM or even Shred and ask them if they can be of use.

yeah, they are the same thing.

 

when I found them I thought "this is cool. maybe there's a way to make a 'skin' for each major city just like the airplanes. that way each one might be recognizable form the air."

 

I started a thread because, for reasons I can't yet identify, I was unable to send any private messages the other night.

 

thanks for the web-link, by the way. it's kinda of poetic, because England in 1910 is the one I've had the least luck with. they've got London, and that's mostly from the 20s on out.
