Over 100 years ago, Burton Holmes (1870-1958) traveled to Russia. Holmes was an American traveler, photographer and filmmaker, who coined the term “travelogue”. Travel stories, slide shows and motion pictures were all in existence before Holmes began making his travel films, but he was the first person to put these elements together into documentary travel lectures.
Here are some of the photographs from his book detailing his visit to Tsarist Russia in 1901.
