German publisher Karl Ludwig Johannes Baedeker set the standard for authoritative guidebooks for tourists in the late 19th century. From the beginning, Baedeker realised the importance of including quality, reliable maps in his travel guides, which were black-and-white initially. To this end, he engaged the services of Eduard Wagner of Darmstadt, a specialist in cartography, and the maps he produced for Baedeker were revolutionary at the time. The first Baedeker travel guide in English appeared in 1861 after Karl Baedeker's death.
