Superb combination of two detailed topographic maps and two aerial photos of Basle, comparing presentation of the city at different stages in its development. One side shows the city and its environs on two topographic maps at 1:25,000: a beautiful colour reproduction of Swiss Survey’s famous “Dufourkarte” series drawn between 1836 and 1839, contrasting it with a map of the same area from 2005.

On the reverse there are two aerial images at 1:15,000: a black and white photo from 1937 with the same area photographed in colour in 2008. The accompanying text about the two topographic series and the two aerial imagery series is in French and German only.
