The pictures presented on this page were mostly copied from a World Geographies book published in 1913. The book was given to me by an uncle, a veteran of World War I, Robert Glanton, before he died in 1954.   Not only was he wonderful uncle, but also a close friend.

 

I hope you enjoy the pictures and compare them with your impressions as things are today.
