Gilt, black, tan and green pictorial binding; map endpapers. Light wear to extremities; top edge gilt; a near fine copy. Lee Meriwether boards a steamer in Brooklyn for Italy in 1886 and begins a whirlwind tour of Europe, traveling through Germany, Turkey, Greece, Austria, England, Hungary, and more, all for just 50 cents a day.
