With Continental Silver Binding & Original Working Key. and engraved with Karlsbad to top. Interior features original marbleised decorative paper. In the middle of the 19th century, the bathing industry experienced a significant boom. With his publications about the Bohemian baths and the effects of their medicinal waters, the balneologist and imperial personal physician Josef von Löschner helped Karlsbad to flourish as a health resort of world renown.
