London, New York, & Bombay: Longmans & Green, & Co, 1903. New Edition. Hardcover. Good + overall. Marvelous illustrations by Florence Kate Upton, (1873 - 1922) English illustrator and cartoonist known most for her series of children's books, the Golliwogg series.

They travel to Paris and visit the Eiffel Tower; visit Japan and ride in a jinrikisha; travel to Turkey, ride a camel in a desert, and are captured by a tribe of cannibals.
