Three Vassar Girls on the Rhine
Three Vassar Girls on the Rhine. A Holiday Trip of Three College Girls Through Germany, by Way of This Celebrated River. Old churches, towering cathedrals, medieval German castles, ruins of Roman forts, Germanic historical figures, scenes along the river and in towns and forests, I have included all of the large illustrations and many of the smaller ones from this great antiquarian book.
These drawings are very nicely done and are representative of the "Three Vassar Girls" series, published in the late 19th century. For me, the books are valuable as much for hte drawing as for the rambling observations on life, culture, history, and the general joys of traveling with college chums.
