Volume I: Europe

This album/volume contains c. 200 unidentified photos, mostly of local scenery, architecture, and some candid shots of people in the streets.

There is also one note, which is no longer entirely accurate, but reads:

My friend Melvin Brorby and I left Paris in the summer of 1922 to explore Germany and the countries of central Europe. We attended the second Assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva, went to the Saar Valley while it was under the government of the League; were present at the great economic conference at Rapallo, stayed quite a while in Florence and generally discovered Italy. Took a cargo boat down the Dalmatian coast to Athens. There followed a whole wonderful discovery of Greece, Constantinople at the very end of the Turkish-Greek war, the coast of Asia Minor, and so to Damascus and Palestine, then under British Mandate Egypt, and by cargo boat on which we stowed away from Post Said to Bombay. In India we remained a full year, a year too full to relate here, but some notion of this can be had from the three books of photographs in this collection. Finally, we left India in January 1924 to return to America by way of Burma, Singapore, China and Japan. The pictures of this part of our adventures are in one volume altogether.

[This same note also specified that the photographs were in Six Volumes, which is no longer true as there are twelve volumes, but gave the titles of the volumes as: “Europe 1922,” “The Middle East and Greece, Egypt,” 3 volumes titled “India,” and “Burma, Singapore, China and Japan.”]
