Softcover. Condición: Fair. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Dust Jacket. On offer is an exceptional early 20th century global travel and family photo album kept by Olive Whipple Peabody Beardwood (1886-1969) of Hamilton, Massachusetts. Olive was the well-traveled adopted daughter of noted American philanthropist, Philip G. Peabody. This album is an annotated snapshot of life and travel between 1905-1929, when Olive was 19 through 43 years old [See BIO NOTES at end of listing for more on Olive and Philip]. Special note: Seller has a remarkable diary written by Olive Whipple Peabody Beardwood for sale (ask seller for listing). The photo book opens with a grand full-page cut out of an image of a ship Olive likely sailed upon during some of her travels. The ship is the SS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria (later the RMS Empress of Scotland). The grandeur of the album only grows from here. This album provides an astonishing look at life across the globe in the early 20th century, through the eyes of a wealthy young woman. The photographs are not in order, implying that Olive compiled this album sometime after 1929 with images of the 24 previous years of her life and travels. In the first half of the album, she does a great job of annotating each image. The images are a combination of overseas travel photos, family and pet photos from all over her home state of Massachusetts, and photos of her travels across the United States. There are a few particularly notable images that prove that "a picture is worth a thousand words" when it comes to important moments in world history. Some highlights from the album include the following images: There is a tragic image of Olive and two men standing in the ruins of the 1908 Messina and Reggio earthquake. It was taken on March 28, 1909, precisely three months after the event. There is an image of a group of travelers wearing "native costumes [of] the Island of Malta", a view of a funeral procession passing the Grand Continental Hotel in Cairo, Egypt, four images of Egyptian people and their mud huts in Faiyum, and a haunting image of the Sphinx in Egypt. Other notable photos include Olive visiting the Acropolis in Athens, Greece and an image of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian quarter of Jerusalem. The completeness of the picture this album paints of the life of a wealthy, world traveling American cannot be overstated. The album also helps us to learn what it was to live in the less developed parts of the world through Olive's travel photography. Olive beautifully captures the fashions, living conditions and lived experiences of humans across the globe over a 24 year period, making it a treasure for any historian. A complete list of the locations at which photos in this album were taken follows: Jerusalem, Athens, Greece; Messina, Sicily; Port Said, Africa; Malta; Tangiers, Africa; Palermo, Sicily; Funchal, Madeira; Genoa, Italy; Constantinople; Cairo, Egypt; Faiyum, Egypt. Locations in Massachusetts include Hamilton, Boston, Brookline, Dorchester, Stoneham, Wayland, Salisbury Beach, Nantasket Beach and Franklin. Other American locations include the Berengaria ship heading from New York to England; the Susquehanna River; the Catawba River; Shenandoah Valley; Tarrytown, New York; Los Angeles, California, Berkeley, California; Colorado Springs; Oregon; Utah; San Francisco, California; Brunswick, Georgia; Gorham, Meredith, and Rye Beach in New Hampshire. This photo album measures 7.5 x 11.0 and contains 48 pages and 88 images (approximately 4 are duplicates). The covers are in good condition. The binding is a lace binding. Two pages have pulled away from the binding. The photographs themselves are for the most part glued to their respective page, though there are two pages that are notably missing their photographs. Overall, Olive does a great job of annotating the images. As the photo book goes on, Olive does less annotating. First she just leaves out dates, and at the last images, she stops making notes on the images altogether. Overall Fair+.

Olive later married James Beardwood, had a son named Jamie in 1930 and passed away in 1969 at the age of 83. This amazingly detailed diary is exceptional with its fascinating details of all that she saw and did in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The journal opens with them in Sweden: "Dad and I returned from Kristiania this morning. Our train left Kristiania at 6 o'clock last night and we rode without any change of cars until 7:50 this morning when we entered the large Central Station of Stockholm ." [May 17] They spent several days visiting historical sites in Stockholm before sailing for Finland and Russia. They arrived in St. Petersburg on May 21st. "All the Russian churches and many of the people have a sort of unclean odor. Found St. Isaac's Cathedral more impressive than the Kazan Cathedral. This Cathedral stands in the Nevsky Prospekt - the long main street of St. Petersburg. It has an arched colonnade of 136 pillars in imitation of St. Peter's at Rome". [May 22] ; A guide took us about St. Isaac's Cathedral and showed us the valuable stones set in the gold icons, until we really believed that the wealth of Russia is in the Cathedrals. I visited twice The Memorial Church, built on the exact spot where Alexander II was murdered. The stones in the pavement are left just as they were The Cathedral of Peter & Paul is an oblong building, 210 feet in length and 98 in breadth. All the sovereigns of Russia since the foundation of St. Petersburg lie buried in the Cathedral, except Peter II. The bodies are deposited under the floor of the church and the marble tombs above marking the sites of the graves." [May 22]; "We asked admissions to the Winter Palace and we were sent on, from one man in charge to another, then another & so on till at least we were shown into a little room where we sat down on benches and waited. We did not know how long we would have to wait before someone came. No one spoke English or French. We decided to go on to another Cathedral for we had only the afternoon before we left for Moscow. We went to the bazaars but really most of them were closed for some sort of a holiday. Lots of things were very expensive. Dry goods priced in the windows of the shops were terribly high. A very large good natured cat sat in the door way of every shop. Candy and fruit were very expensive. Car fares cheap - hotels poor & expensive - cab fares moderate." [May 23]; "Passports are compulsory in Russia. Anywhere & everywhere you go a passport is demanded. At every Russian hotel it is taken by the manager, then given to the police official of the hotel. The next day it is return. Manuscript.
