Travel impressions

Travel impressions. Illustration shows a vignette cartoon depicting scenes from travel, such as a shocked woman confronted by a US Customs scarecrow; a distorted view of Pisa aided by a wonderful quality of chianti; a Dutch woman exchanging her traditional costume for the latest Parisian fashions after the tourists have gone home; a composite of images from one of those hurried tours around the world, compressing sites from many places into a single image/impression; ruins that remind the traveler of construction projects back home; a woman sitting on a lonely beach populated with signs for the many different seas she has encountered while traveling; and what may be a self-portrait of the artist sending postcards from places around the world, while never leaving home. Date 1914 August 29. Travel impressions.
