The Grand Tour 1903 - 1904: Marjorie Van Wickle's Tour of Europe and Egypt - Paperback

by Margaret Whitehead (Author)

In June 1903, 19-year-old Marjorie Van Wickle embarked on a journey that profoundly changed the course of her life, leading to life-long passions for art, music, and horticulture. For eleven months, she traveled with a chaperone through Europe and Egypt, touring capital cities, small towns, and villages; visiting art museums, historic sites, and legendary monuments. The book is constructed around excerpts from letters and postcards Marjorie sent home to her mother, and photographs she took.
