Description

Central Europe - Carlsbad. Liste der angekomenen Kur- und Badegäste in der königl. Stadt Kaiser-Karlsbad im Jahre 1821 [& 1822]. Karlsbad, Franiek, [1821-1822]. 2 volumes small in-4 square in ff. in red or green long-grain morocco folders, gilt roulettes framing the boards with gilt title on upper board, gilt edges (period binding). Labels (in Russian) from the library of Duke Georges of Mecklenburg. Rare and curious documents listing the curists and bathers who arrived in the spa town of Carlsbad (now Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic). 1821 : [2] ff. including title with engraved view of the spa and 49 ff. listing 1,347 names. 1822: [2] ff. including title with engraved view of the townand 47 ff. with 1,285 names. The town owes its name to Emperor Charles IV, who granted it the privilege of a royal town in 1370. It is famous for its hot springs (12 main and around 300 secondary), the largest and hottest (73°C) being Vřídlo (German: der Sprudel) and for its hot-water river, the Teplá, which flows into the Ohře at this point. After the gloomy period of the 1819 Carlsbad Conference between Austrian Chancellor Metternich and the states of the German Confederation (on press censorship and the repression of liberal demonstrations after the war of liberation against France), thermalism gave the town a new lease of life: visitor numbers rose from 134 families in 1756 to 26,000 curists by the end of the 19th century, when the resort became an international social gathering place.
