Description

"From Cairo to Burma and back again, authors Barbara Levine and Kirsten Jensen transport readers back to the dawn of world travel when, Brownie cameras in tow, the middle class toured the globe for the first time and painstakingly documented their discoveries in scrapbooks, diary entries, and pasted-down souvenir postcards. Featuring a wealth of turn-of-the-century photographs, and ephemera such as ship menus, calling cards, and newspaper clippings, Around the World evokes the pleasures of a time when experiences were taken in slowly and travel was an art in and of itself."--Jacket.
