Tupper Scrapbook Collection

William Vaughn Tupper was quite the traveler, wandering around Europe, Great Britain, and North Africa from 1891-1894 with his family. This remarkable digital collection from the Boston Public Library contains 46 scrapbooks that document his fascinating journeys. First-time visitors might do well to check out "Volume 31: On the Nile. Cairo to Luxor" as a good starting point. Here they will find photographs of local attractions and curiosities purchased during Tupper's travels. There are shots of markets, local businesspeople, the pyramids, and festivals. There are many other volumes here, of course, and visitors will be delighted to know that each one contains at least 35 photos for their consideration. It's a remarkable find and for persons interested in the history of travel and journeys, it's a site to bookmark and visit again.
