Аннотация: Burton Holmes. Travelogues

It was the Belle Epoque, a time before air travel or radio, at the brink of a revolution in photography and filmmaking, when Burton Holmes (1870-1958) began a lifelong journey to bring the world home. From the grand boulevards of Paris to China's Great Wall, from the construction of the Panama canal to the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Holmes delighted in finding the beautiful way around the world and made a career of sharing his stories, colourful photographs, and films with audiences across America. He coined the term travelogue in 1904 to advertise his unique performance and thrilled audiences with two hour sets of stories timed to projections of multihued hand-painted glass lantern slides and some of the first moving pictures. Paris, Peking, Dehli, Dubrovnik, Moscow, Manila, Jakarta, Jerusalem: Burton Holmes was there. He visited every continent and nearly every country on the planet, shooting over 30,000 photographs and nearly 500,000 feet of film. This book represents the best of the Holmes archive, brimming with brilliant color photographs. A rare window onto the world of 100 years ago, it is also the ultimate inspiration to strike out on a travel adventure of your own.
