PORTFOLIO OF PHOTOGRAPHS of Famous Scenes Cities and Paintings
Chicago: The Werner Company 1894. USA No date; edition not stated; a guess at 1894. No markings a hint of rubbing to cover corner tips the base of the spine is worn showing the boards beneath the front hinge is starting Good only copy; no dust jacket as published. 28 x 33.5 cm pebbly dark blue boards with green borrder designs with an image of a godderss with a camera to the left of the front cover no page numbers. about 200 pages. Frontis portrait of the author; B&W photos. Each page contains one full-sized black and white photo with a paragraph of commentary. There are photos of European cities but also cottages of Mexico carriages in Verseilles street in Palestine. The charm of this volume can be summarised in the volumes introduction: 'This series therefore may be likened to to some of those mosaic tables which we occasionally see in the palaces of Florence whose polished surface is comprised of precious stones each worthy of minute inspection yet formed with the combination of artistic excellence all the most pleasing from its wonderful variety.' This work celebrates the vast and diverse places and objects of interest from a 19th century perspective. Stoddard's travel lectures were immensely popular at a time when travel was not easy. The lectures made Stoddard a multi-millionaire and it can be argued that his lectures started the modern travelogue. He travels in or about 1874 and created the lectures some time later along with his photographs which were presented to enraptured audiences by means of a magic lantern projection. 4.0 JM LVR 202/3.
