NUOVA GUIDA DI CAPRI | I EDIZ. 1950 | HANS RUESCH | S. A. RICHTER & C.

This compact travel guide offers a historic and picturesque introduction to the island of Capri, detailing its landscapes, monuments, and local life. Written by Hans Ruesch — himself with personal ties to Naples and the island — the book interweaves practical information (maps, tariffs, itineraries) with a reflective appreciation of Capri’s cultural and natural features. The edition from c. 1950 presents the island at a moment of post-war transition, combining the charm of earlier tourism with emerging modern travel infrastructure. It is thus of interest not only to travellers but also to researchers of mid-20th-century tourism, cartography (including the folding map included), and regional Italian history.
