Included in this issue are: The Pathfinder of the East, with 44 Illustrations by J. R. Hildebrand; Rainbow Portraits of Portugal with 17 Autochromes by Gervais Courtellemont; An Altitudinal Journal Through Portugal with 45 Illustrations by Harriet Chalmers Adams; and Round About Liechtenstein with 19 Illustrations by Maynard Owen Williams. Harriet Chalmers Adams (October 22, 1875 – July 17, 1937) was an American explorer, writer and photographer. She traveled extensively in South America, Asia and the South Pacific in the early 20th century, and published accounts of her journeys in the National Geographic magazine. Condition: Good.
