Odd Bits of Travel with Brush and Camera

A collection of travel sketches and practical advice for artists and photographers visiting European towns and rural districts. The author describes urban and rural scenes—from Liverpool and London nights, Parisian boulevards and the Seine, to Belgian and Dutch canals, windmills, island villages, cheese-making districts, and Rhine towns—emphasizing paintable views, characteristic people, costumes, markets, and local customs. Interspersed are personal anecdotes, lodging and travel tips, photographic notes, and observations on social contrasts such as slums and entertainments. The work aims to guide both ardent and casual followers of art toward accessible, picturesque subjects and healthful travel experiences.
