Switzerland

The dust jacket is worn, with visible tears and chips along the edges. The hardcover binding is intact, and the pages are clean and well-preserved. Despite the jacket wear, the book itself remains in good condition, maintaining its visual and textual appeal.

This edition is a valuable piece for collectors of travel and photography books, particularly those interested in mid-20th-century European landscapes. The physical condition of the dust jacket shows wear, with noticeable tears and chips, yet the book remains a significant visual document of Switzerland's beauty.
