Item History & Price
LISTING IS FOR AN ORIGINAL ANTIQUE PHOTOGRAPH.
These photos are from a collection taken by a young American woman as she traveled the globe from 1912-1914. Cruising with her father, Admiral Albert Ross U.S.N. She was 22 years old during this two-year journey. She was my grandmother. Few people can have made such a comprehensive and leisurely journey. Alice Brewer Ross (1890-1980) visited Hawaii, Pago Pago, New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, Japan, China, Burma, Siam, I...ndia, Turkey, Jerusalem, The Levant, Egypt and finally home through Europe on the Orient Express. She traveled by horse and buggy, ship, sedan, camel, rickshaw, elephant, Wight airplane, automobile, and train. The private train car was parked where they wished, like an RV, for as long as they wished. America’s position in the world and, and Alice’s position in society-the Admiral’s daughter- ensured the hospitality of royalty and potentates in every nation.
