The cover features Romanisch (two weights) and Eckmann. The latter is used with the long s (ſ in “Nebst”), the former isn’t (in “seine”).

This guide to Trier and the surrounding area was issued in 1905 by Heinrich Stephanus. The local publisher and book seller was established in 1878 and still is in business today. The cover and the title page bring together a number of typefaces that were typical for the place and time. The building shown at the top right is the Porta Nigra, a city gate from Roman times.
