Summary: |
Hawaii - China - Philippines
All sections are provided with generous amount of images.
Many of the Hawaii photos that appear unfamiliar to me.
Provides background of each location along with
the descriptive travel narrative of that time. "Burton Holmes (January 8, 1870 Chicago – July 22, 1958 Los Angeles) was an American traveler,
photographer and filmmaker, who coined the term "travelogue".
Travel stories, slide shows and motion pictures were all in existence
before Holmes began making his travel films, but he was the first person to put these elements together
into documentary travel lectures. Holmes has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame" --via wikipedia. CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
