For sixty years he was America's most famous travel showman. His travels began in 1892 with a trip to Japan. He went on to travel the world until 1952. His photographs, one of which is reproduced in this print, show the world in only the way a lover of travel could. He delivered travel lectures until the age of 81, after more than 8,000 lectures. He died in 1958, but his wonder of the world continues in his photographs and works.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
