Photographer Henry L. Rand and his cousin Julius Ross Wakefield traveled to Europe together in the summer and fall of 1896. Henry, as usual, documented the trip with this map and 87 photographs, found principally in Volume 10 of the Henry L. Rand Collection. The photographs are numbered in their titles in the order in which they appear in Rand's album. Henry drew the Continental Route of the trip, as evidenced by his distinctive handwriting, and then photographed the map and pasted it into Volume 10 as his number 1143. He probably copied the map from a printed one and added the longitude and latitude lines that can faintly be seen in the photograph. Henry and Julius traveled to Europe aboard the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II to Naples, Italy and then proceeded by water to Genoa. From there they went to Milan and took a side trip to Verona and Venice, returning to Milan.
