Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This delightful travelogue encapsulates the enchantment, fascination, and observations from the author's travels through continental Europe in the 19th century. The author and traveling companions visit Germany, Switzerland, France, Hamburg and other locales. Germany of the time is transitioning from the age of chivalry. In Hamburg, the author's idealistic observations of daily life and workers are in contrast with her troubled experience as an American woman traveling on an unsteady steamship. In France, the shadow of the recent Franco-Prussian war looms, but the beauty of the countryside and art of Paris inspire wonder and awe. This book gives a compelling glimpse of Europe from an American perspective, providing a record of a transformative time when old traditions meet encroaching modernity.
