As you know, a Baedeker was a series of guidebooks for travellers published in 1832 by Karl Baedeker, a German publisher.

The firm of Karl Baedeker first produced a guide to Switzerland in 1844; the first version in English appeared in 1863.

They were called the Baedeker Raids as it was believed the targets were selected from a set of travel guides published by Karl Baedeker (1850-1859), a German national.

The poem and its long epigraph presents itself as potted entries in the manner of the guidebooks of Karl Baedeker or John Murray, which, in a few lines, enable the tourists (Burbank, Bleistein, Sir Ferdinand Klein, or even the reader) to gather information on and to have access to cultural, historical, and geographical matters.
