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. The late 19th century text is rather ornate to modern ears. Here is an example here the author talks about Naples: " Even in this prosaic age it still remains a copious fountain of romance. Year after year, and century after century, the worshipers of Nature from all lands have come to render homage ot its matchless shores, like the soft waves which steal in from the outer sea, kiss with a murmur of delight its crescent beach and then retire; but the fair bay remains the same, "a thing of beauty and a joy forever". I believe the photos were taken by Stoddard or at least under his direction and date from the mid 1870s. The photos of the monuments are timeless and seemingly unchanged but the photos of the people and their activities seem more remote than their 150 year distance would warrant. The black leather edition is my favourite of all his editions as the flexxible covers make the book easy to hold. (2.2 JM HOQ 102/4 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾". Codice articolo 06891
