The title of Royal Photograph Gallery sufficiently indi- cates"'the scope and character of -1:h^|)resent work. . The pub- lisTiers in preparing the volume have~galhered their materials from almost. every ^orm of art and from every quarter of the xyqrld» The gallery is made up of elegant photographic reproductions representing the marvels of the natural world and the principal products of the genius and hand of man. The style in which the pictures are presented is in all particulars such > as to commend the volume to! the public. The appearance of such a work, appealing as it does to the eye and, through the eye, to the understanding, suggests by way of intro- duction a few reflections on the importance of the sense of sight in instructing the mtellect and delighting fancy. With the old Greeks ^o see was to know. The same word which expressed the act of vision denoted also the perception of the mind. Nor may it be doubted that of all the avenues between the inner soul of man and the outef world of visible and tangible things, the sense of sight is the brightest and most delightful. Vision is the sense alike of information and ideality— the open way of knowledge and of dreams. It may surprise the reader to reflect how much of the learning and wisdom of mankind has been gathered through the sense of sight True it is that every child of man learns to speak by the ear ; but no sooner is oral utter- ance attained than the actual beginnings of wisdom are found and followed by the eye. Henceforth through all the devious ways and hard tasks of learning it is the eye that leads and informs the mind. The crooked marks of the alphabet, the curious forms of words, the combination of words into a vehicle of thoughts and ideas, the construction of that written and printed page out of which the accumulated 'ntelligence of the world flashes into the mind of the learner— all this must be gained and mastered by the eye. The eye makes us acquainted with nature and with man. It brings to us a knowledge of the illimitable past and spreads before us a picture of the mar- velous present. It reveals to us the landscapes of all continents and reaches off to the islands of the seas. It leads us through the streets of olden cities; carries us easily to the summits of inaccessible mountains ; sets us free with the strong-winged eagles that circle the tops of the redwoods of Mariposa, and bears us at a glance to the planets and stars. All the other senses with which we are endowed are limited to the narrow circumference of our own being or the few poor roods of street or field where we live. Taste is in the tongue : touch reaches no further than the fmger-tips ; the heaviest gun or loudest roar of volcano can only catch the ear at the distance of a few miles. All the rest is silence I But the sight of the eye is as infinite as the star-sprinkled dome of space. The remotest world of creation hardly escapes the discovery and visita- tion of the mind issuing forth through the narrow pupil of the eye. The modern age more than the ancient has availed itself of seeing. The spirit of seeing has entered into literature. The writers of the former centuries were localized and sequestered. Those of the present age are ubiquitous. It may well surprise us to reflect upon the isolation of mankind which prevailed over all the world until the dawn of the present era. Men lived apart and saw nothing — knew nothing beyond their local environment. They heard nothing save that which came by vague report. They were able to verify nothing because of the constraint and thrall by which they were held to a given spot. The ideas which they entertained of things distant were inadequate and often I grotesque. No man could report from personal observation the character of the peoples in foreign lands or the aspects of the civilization which they had created. The few emissaries and travelers who ventured across the great land- scapes of the world were like the stray meteors of the June sky : they were seen rather than seeing, and were more astonishing than astonished amid the scenes of their visitation. To all this an age of travel has succeeded. Seeing has taken the place of vague tradition. The beneficent reign of science has brought in the means of going abroad over all the earth. The globe has become a landscape for human eyes. The continents are traced in every part with the easy lines of intercourse, and the seas have become thoroughfares. There is hardly any longer an isolated town or an unvisited square league of territory in our terrestrial abode. The result has been the rectification of knowledge. History has been written anew and fitted in time and place to the surface of the globe. Ships are no longer wrecked on the coast of Bohemia, as they were in the time of Shakespeare, and Nineveh is no longer on the banks of the Euphrates, as it was in Lord Byron's day. We might well dwell upon the new history which has sprung from the investigations and witness of the eye. Behold Wilkinson and Ebers in Egypt ; Rawlinson and Smith among the ruins of the Mesopotamian cities ; Mommsen exploring the relics of Rome ; Schliemann digging up the foundations of heroic Troy I Out of such work a new and true concept of the life and activity of man on the earth has been derived, and as the results are published to the world, the old myths and traditions of the human race fall back and are lost in the shadows. The leading adjunct of modern historical and scientific research is Photography. This is the form in which the results of the new method of inquiry are first recorded. Strange it is that the picture should have come back and insinuated itself in the place of the word. It might also be said that the age of pictures is to succeed the age of words. It is as though the hieroglyphics of antiquity should have returned to contest with language and printing the empire of the worldl Nor should we, in this connection, fail to remember that while most of the written and nearly all of the spoken languages of ancient times have per- ished from the knowledge of mankind, •2he old picture-writings of Egypt still stand out clear and bright as in the morning of their creation. The camera has become one of the implements of the intellectual life throughout the world. The current civilization seems to be striving to per- petuate itself in authentic outlines by the device of light and shade. The real importance of this method of preserving the current aspects of man-life in the world can hardly be over-estimated. A few photographs preserved from antiquity might change our concept of whole chapters in ancient history. What 'Would the modern world give for a good photograph or photographic reproduc- tion of the walls and hanging gardens of Babylon ? What would be the value of a true negative of the Colossus of Rhodes, of the gold and ivory statue of •Jupiter, of the temple of Diana of the Ephesians? How much would the British Museum pay for a photograph of the dedication of the temple of Solomon, of a gladiatorial combat in the arena, of the Roman Senate listening to the reading of despatches from C^sar in Gaul ? Would not the poorest ambro- type of Socrates or the Christ outrank all the glories of Michael Angelo's frescoes or the divinest faces of Raphael ? This great lack in pictorial reproduction, which modern scholarship so much deplores in attempting to form a true estimate of the life of antiquity, the pres- ent age is attempting to supply for itself and the future. The future may know, if it will, the likeness of man and the aspects of civilization in the Nineteenth Century. The camera turns its wakeful eye in this direction and in that. It glances everywhere ; it looks at rivers and ruins, at mills and merchant ships, at trophies and temples, at palaces and mausoleums, at city squares and com- mercial marts, at light-houses and gymnasia, at royal gardens and the graves of peasants, at the faces of men and the discs of the eternal stars 1 Nor need we fear that the recorded results of these reproductions of human life and of the natural world will fade and perish. A well-made photograph may last as long as the Turin Papyrus, and that has endured since the age of the Pharaohs Photography may be defmed as the art of making all men travelers. Civilization, though she has brought the opportunity, has not yet brought to all the ability to go abroad and visit the world. The close of our century still finds the great majority con- '•>,^ fmed to narrow limits of neighborhood or state — shut off from the inspiring •sight of the great things of earth. The situation has suggested the illustrated lecture, the use of the stereopticon as a means of displaying the cities and scenery, the arts and the enterprises of mankind. It has also suggested what is better and more enduring, namely, the reproduction in artistic form of photographic originals of the most wonderful features of the natural worl'd and the most interesting products of the human genius. It has thus happeneo, 'hat photography, from being a mere process of portrait making, has become one ot the principal means of recording the best of all things knowable and of diffusing a knowledge of the same to the people. The advantages of pictorial representation as a m.eans of informing and verifying can hardly be exaggerated. Wherever travel is impracticable— wti^r' ever the mountains and seas divide the eager mind from the objects of its long- ing and search — there the lens, with its quick flash of light and swiftly-caught image of nature or work of m^an, has come in to supply the deficiency and to transmit to humble homes in distant lands the picture and vision of the reality. It is needless tc dwell upon the vivid and lasting impressions made on the mind by pictorial representations. After the seeing of the eye these are best. By them the memory is traced with indelible images, and the imagination is lifted and borne away across continents and oceans'' With "the picture before us time and space are suddenly obliterated. In a moment we-ar-eini^ndon,. in Paris, in Cairo, in Bombay, m Melbourne. We are with Shakespeare's dust, in the haunts of Burns, looking down from St. Peter's on outspread Rome, walking among the ruins of the Acropolis, tracing the pathways where the Son of Mary journeyed and taught. We are with the great actors — with Csesar and Qharle- magne, with Napoleon and Washington; We are with the immortal artfsts, from Praxiteles and Phidias to Meissonier and Bartholdi. _ '■ The publishers of the Royal Photograph Gallery have, as we 'have said, gathered the materials for their work out of almost every country of the world. Their aim has been to select and preserve the- best. They have sought with artistic success to reproduce in this volume the most striking aspects of ! the natural world and the highest and most beautiful works of man. The col-j lection in its .entirety is a delight to4heeye and an inspiration to the mind.i The possessor of this elegant; volume will fmd in it history, poetry and art. He will himself become a traveler; he will see reproduced in this paiHorama of I views the principal wonders of the natural world and will dwell, for the! I hour, amid the chief monuments and trophies of the human race. i — New York, June, 189^. y,a^Lx.^£^ AN OLD ENGLISH PUBLIC hOUSE. W ASHINOTON'S HEADQUARTERS AT VALLEY POROE.

CITY OF Rro DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL. C4li UNITED STATES CRUISER " SAN FRANCISCO." The capital of Brazil has one of the finest harbors in the world, pear-shaped, its neck oceanward and a mile in width. Within, the placid waters are dotted with peaks, islands and fortresses, the city a huge aniphitheatre with noble mountains in the background. Rio Janeiro has a lively and sprightly population, and is provided with the accessories of advanced civilization ; but the visitor is struck with the sickly and undersized appearance of the male white population. Rio Janeiro women appear to spend a good part of their time staring out upon the street. — The "San Francisco" is a first-rate, unannored vessel of the United States Navy, of the type protected cruiser. She has a steel hull, is propelled by twin screws, has three masts, twelve guns in her main battery, and a displacement of 4083 tons. The "San Francisco" represents the new navy, created within a few years, and giving particular distinction to the administrations of Secretaries Whitney and Tracy, representing respectively the Democratic and Republican parties. a -3 u i§i of ]^I\oio€jpa|>I\$.

Secretary Tracy, of the Navy, had distinguished himself in pushing forward the "work of creating an effective fleet. Changes introduced by Mr. Wanamaker as Postmaster-General were a real ^in in time and efficiency. The brilliant public career of Mr. Blaine had ended the previous summer. On the whole, the administration of President Harrison was not an eventful, though a capable one. The dispute with Chili created an excitement which soon passed away, with the assent of the Chilian governmeut to the reasonable demands of the United States. 25 PROMINENT REPUBLICANS. J.

He was succeeded by a young girl of 18, still Queen Victoria, and possibly to reign some years yet, though her jubilee year seems a long way back. Hers is promising to be the longest reign in English history. Reckoned by the continuous capability for work on the part of the sovereign, it is now the longest. Victoria's is the life of a sensible, God-fearing woman, devoted to duty, and finding her sweetest secular satisfactions in the family and the exercise of beneficence. She loves to be in the open air, is fond of walking and driving, and takes her morning meal, whenever at all practicable, out of doors. The secret of a long and dutiful life is found in its general healthful simplicity, contrasting so strikingly with the pomp and circumstance of func- tions indispensable by the ruler over hundreds of millions of the human family. 47 fll1l 2 i if = i 12 'c _- g H o 8 u 5> -, lllll THE GLADSTONE GOVERNMENT OF 1892. William Ewart Gladstone was appointed Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury on August 15, 1892. He was born in 1809. Of the three men in the top row, the one with the cleanly-shaven face is John Morley, Chief Secretary of State for Ireland in the Gladstone Government of 1892 ; Earl Spencer, First Lord of the Admiralty, is in the middle ; and the Marouis of Ripon, Secretary of State for the Colonies, on the right. Under Morlev is A. J. Mundella, President of the Board of Trade ; under him. Earl Roseberv, Secretarv of State for Foreign Affairs ; under Gladstone is Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer. To the right of the "Grand Old Man" is Sir George Trevelyan, Secretary of State for Scotland ; leaving the Earl of Kimberley, President of the Council, to be mentioned the last. 49 ^ g«ii' I'll it a BJS " u^ m -J « J3 a " UJ p ■« 5 K "T a^^S §5 3 a j; 5 r= * IIP' 11 THE SOVEREIGNS OF RUSSIA, DENMARK AND GREECE. The Czar Alexander III. is a giant physically in appearance, the apt ruler of mighty and progressive Russia. He was born in 1845. the eldest son of Alexander II., who was assassinated in 1881, and succeeded his father upon that terrible event. His wife, Maria Dagmar, wearer of the quaint head-dress of Russia, is a daughter of Christian IX., King of Denmark, whose portrait is at the bottom of the picture, and Queen Louise, his wife, who takes the mother- in-law's place at the top. Georgios I. of Greece is a brother of the Empress of Russia, and was Prince Wilhelm when, in 1863, the Greeks elected him King of the Hellenes. In 1867 the young monarch married Olga, eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, brother of the Czar Alexander II. These six people are related thus nearly. 61 iijii^- '^■^^mji,)! *^ o 2 .S .■;3 4> ^ !^ ■? -« ^ S* ■^ '3 w m 13 vo -S H "wi a . g S 5 ROYALTY IN PORTUO \ i r.nJll.}r,^l^ ^>^ ^ TJ''*'" V I'r "V^ ", "«'"* '"""^ «'" ^^J^ illustration is the sweet mother of the m-.^tH'^^T-. r ", ^"""^ ^l".'^'""' '>"K''l" °f »'l»>iPPe nuc .rOrleans.

The Infanta Eulalia, whose beautiful portrait is before you, came to America to represent the Spanish monarchy at the great Columbian Exposition. She proved to be a young lady of intelligence, good sense and democratic notions, and was royally received at the national capital, at the seat of the wonderful Exposition, and wherever she appeared in public. Her name is Infanta Marie-Eulalia-Franjoise D'Assise-Marguerite-Roberte-Isabelle-Fransoise De Paule-Christine-Marie- De La Prete, etc. 57 POPE LEO XIII.

At the head of a caravan, probably of three million people, the great lawgiver was guided by Divine wisdom in the exercise of his authority over them, and water and food were miraculously provided for their support. We read that their garments did not wear out, and that noonday heats and nocturnal darkness were modified respec- tively by the pillar of a cloud and the pillar of fire. These facts in the Biblical account of the wanderings of the Children of Israel in the wilderness afford a strong contrast to the scene of the illustration, which is destitute of any interest, beyond its artistic merit, of a poetic, much less, supernatural order. For business or fancy a few Englishmen cross the desert, escorted by a hired dragoman, and the scene is an everyday incident. 69 QREEK CHURCH. CONVENT OF ST, CATHARINE, MOUNT SINAI.

Water is brought miles by carriers for the use of those who can afford to buy it, but the chief source of supply is from the public fountains. That peon with the burden is carrying a roll of the matting made in the country. The population of Quito usually is given as far greater than it actually is, and is probably under 40,000. Its low, balconied houses are white-washed, and their red-tiled roofs project over the streets some distance. These are laid out at right angles, and are not more than twenty feet wide. A spring climate is enjoyed throughout the year, and not a chimney is seen in the city. Cooking is done out of doors by the side of walls. Indians and people of mixed or European descent constitute the bulk of the inhabitants, of whom those who possess the means affect the European style of dress. SIRKEI IN BUBNOS AYRBS, ARUBNTINB RBPUBLIC— Approaching the city by sea the tourist sees only church towers and a few proiiiiueiil buildings, and hardly realizes' that Buenos Ayres is as large as Boston. Behind it a plain reaches 800 miles tmck to the Andes. Hence the insigniticant appearance of tlie capital of the Argentine Republic, which had only 5CX3 inhabitants 200 years ago, but is now known as the Chicago of the soutliern continent. Generally speaking, its streets are narrow and poorly pavtxl, but regularly laid out in squares. Boulevards cutting the city diajjonally relieve the other thoroughfares of niiich traffic. Dwelling- houses are of brick, sha|)cd like those of the northern continent, but having their window* barred with iron. Some residences have a court with fountains, foliage and frnjfrant flowers. — Contrasting with the modern ap|x.-aniiice of Buenos Aytes, the Capital at yuito i.s an old, long, columned structure of brick an*l .stucco. On the i^round floor are wHne sliops, on the second the post-ofiice and a telegraph office, and on the Uurd the two halls of Congrew. POST STATION BETWEEN AMBATO AND QUITO. THE ROYAL ROAD FROM BODEQAS TO QUARANDA, ECUADOR.—" The Royal Road," eminently so called, is from Bodegas to Guaranda, P^cuador. Those ridges which give character to the scene are named camellones. They cross the track at right angles, and are said to have been formed by the tread of mules and other animals. A recent traveler speaks of typical examples having each a furrow of liquid mud upon each side of a ridge of slippery soil, with a difference of two feet or more between the top of the ridge and the bottom of the furrow, and man and beast struggle over the one and wallow in the other. — From Ambato to Quito is seventy-five miles, a two days' trip by coach, with an intermediate post station, as shown in the picture. Six mules constitute the team, driven by the help of vociferation, pebbles thrown at the leaders, a long-handled whip applied to the second pair and a short-handled one to the wheelers. 121 THE SECOND NILE CATARACT.— After the Nile receives iu liist tributon,-. it ttows 600 miles through the Nubian desert. It then breaks into five magnificent Cftturacts, the last of which is at Assouan, and the second, which is before yon, at its entrance into the Wftdy (ravine) Haifa, 200 miles above the first. While any and all of thcste cataracts are fatal to navigation by large boats seeking to stem the .swift currents, they may be 2 ° be c8 01 o fc 2 2 . "S ■-. rt O Xi o ij a!

At seasons, however, the Nile is not a \-ery pleasant stream to navigate, nor a very safe one, as at times it is citlier almost dry or a raging, rushing stream. It has fts cradle in the Victoria Nyaiiza, an enonnous lake in Central Africa. The great feature of the Nile is the Murchison Fall, where the river rages furiously through a rock-hound pjuss and plunges at one leap no feet into a gloom v alivss ; when below this point, continuing between steep forest-covered hills, it gradually calms down into a stream so slow and steady that at certain seasons it is only from the scarcely perceptible drifting of little green water-plants that the flow can be o'bserved. 124 -: tl bA'^a :hes ar willin: rtiono : § s g, et appr people female i v^ b U ^ ^ u ;c ^ i. ,o - Ch OJ <« ■elli Stl acy f v--^ p. -0 5 'i 'C ^ 13 C « — y5 ^ frt — 2 S - y} C t-« ^ « CO 'S 1 J U g" is fe" The theb theE: which >»■ r^ . o a a ^ 3 CO g.

EGYPTIAN SOLDIERS ON PARADE. The top picture is after a celebrated painting by A. Schreyer. Perfect horsemen and skilled in the use of firearms, the Arabs of northern Africa assisted, effectively, tlie protracted opposition to the concjuest of Algiers by the French. At the present time the Sahara Desert is dotted with oases which are the dwelling-places of tribes who have acknowledged rarely the supremacy of the Sultan of Morocco, and have watched eagerly for an opportunity to rise against him. — In contrast with these courageous and freedom-loving sons of the desert, the raw material of the Egyptian Army consists largely of the weakest of people, the native pea,sants. Their cowardice entailed terrible consequences in the war against the rebellious Mahdi. Of late years, since the British occupation of Egypt, their capability as soldiers has been improved greatly by the power of discipline exercised over them by English officers, not have been wanting instances, in recent fights with the Soudanese, of the sense of united force overcoming the natural timidity of the individual Egyptian soldier. 9 129 C 5^ <« •^. = = c 5 ." « a "^ a S 5 « o •-■■= = w 2 js •^ = ?i:j: = u = HS& o = X'- V " * - 8 "^ •5:^^ s 7. u .-— " «" = 2.2 ° "'a *ja Sa = f J^ a « C.ti'jJ o s - ■^ — e -' Ji J< .h y * S C 11 5-s 3tJ 3 ^ a - w n.s Ho 2 a ,S:n- s« p' = = ^11 if C -J-, r!

Time, weather inroads, the vandiilisni of conquerors and curiosity hunters, have so distorted the former irregularities of pyramidal architecture as to make a trip to their summits ver}* much like climbing over the boulders of Alp or Apennine. Yet hardy travelers do not consider an Egyptian visit perfect unleaa they have gazed over the Nile valley from the top of the extraordinary structure at Gizeh, with its base of yao feet square, and its height of 480 feet, and can say that they have stood on the peak of the most gigantic human work la tbe world. ^^ THE STANDING OBELISKS, KARNAK, EQYPT.— Karnak is the name of the village built on the ruins of ancient Thebes. Little is left of this ancient capital, the city of a hundred gates, "as sung by Homer." Two colossal statues of Rameses II. are lying prone on the ground, and the Temple of Sarapis is full of archaeological interest. This is the famous Temple of the Sacred Bulls honored by the ancient Egyptians as successive incarnations of Osiris. While they lived they inhabited the Temple of Aphis, and after their death and embalmment they were buried in a temple made in the desert for the reception of their mummies. The sight of this structure was discovered in 1850, by M. Mariette ; and afterward the sands hiding the ruins were removed. Readers who have seen the obelisk in the Central Park, New York, will be quite at home with the principal objects shown in the illustration, which, like that, have engraved upon them characters very tantalizing to the unlearned. c c^ 5 f a Bx = 2 ' 3J< c ■£2 = = ■00^ a ^•- s: og . ^ f' c ? w ^ 'r *^ O a C ^ — ^ c?/a l«5'S .a S S B V "^ i S! «.2 -I S :» 11 tp^T ••tt I -^ ^ 1 ^ o rj S OJ S H^ o ^3 a S 3 9 CD _g !*» to •^ a; :5 3 « o 0) ft> " ^ *j to o ^ Si' 1^ 13 1-.

Calderon, an English artist, gave the world the original of this fine engraving. An oriental warrior contemplates his beautiful captive, whom the chances of battle have made his own. No consideration other than that of his own gratification, not even the humble beseechings of maidenly innocence, influences him. Her destiny is slavery to his desires, an example of the cruel consequences of war as it was practiced universally until modified in the more advanced nations by a humane regard to the interests of non-participants. Mr. Calderon was bom at Poitiers, France, and is of Spanish descent. He was educated partly in France and partly in England, and is a naturalized Englishman. His first painting, " By the Waters of Babylon," exhibited at the Royal Academy, gave him distinction as long ago as 1853, 161 GARDEN FRONT OF WINDSOR CASTLE. GENERAL VIEW OF THE TOWER OF LONDON. The ganlens fronting Windsor Castle, as shown in the present view, are the Italian gardens. They are artistically laid out and ititers]K'rsed with pieces of statuary. Tlie Tower of London has not been a royal palace since the reign of Chnrles II., who dieil in 1685. Its exterior is best Wewwi from Tower Hill, which wa.s" tile place of execution of ninny eminent persons decapitate*! from 13S8 to 1747.

When the merits of all are conceded, the Grand Opera House at Paris stands readily to the front as the most elegant and complete on the Continent, if not in the world. The beautiful and striking view before you is the one which dazzles the beholder as he seeks to 'ascend to the mner halls and galleries. The expanse, symmetry, comfort and ornamentation of this marble approach are the remark of every visitor, and for the time being one is lost to the graceful columns, elegant sculptures and mazy reflections of the upper corridors. 183 K V , 3 a < a 3| 3 3 'sisi "^^•2 2t"3 .5 ^5 8'- -' a: g o - 3 a i^-sJ5 t« ti-2 3 "s 2 3 «> 1^ i .2 « £ "S .il.^Ji'3 of Gall 'Hie or V Clauc ileriw ::•.•=& 2 o'2 u I! the s sculpt dcoign Imirabl -s S 3 5 P " 'S V > s js'3 3 0" ■? -=-'2 ° '- 5 if - Si -J - 3 o 5 a -3 "c-^ •§ „ =1-^1 •2^ S ! sl «s "2 8 i» *.--^ "* *r|£^ '.

The great Napoleon took a prominent part in contributing to its splendor and magnificence. Suniptuousness hardly has found more elaborate expres.sion than in his bedchamber at Fontainebleau, between which and the hardships of his life as a military leader an interesting contrast might be instituted. When, in 1814, he signed his abdication in this venerable palace of the French sovereigns be bade what proved to be an eternal good-bye to the enjoyment of imperial pomp and state, his life, after his return from Elba, being one of incessant military activity. The affecting scene whea ne bade the Imperial Guard good-bye took place at Fontainebleau. 191 si ''• ' le "— "— It C « cs o o w = 5 = -r;/:*" 4/ —x .5 •'■ -' u T ^ "^ ^ at t— J3 ^ "i i V C g 5 ^ if::.2 - 3 5 . 3 3 S •? 3 rts-^ 5 - = = 5 •^-H :S^ _-; —I. o'~ a ex «£ ^-= 8 Me S « i I- S e 5 i II 3 a *.5 * >» ^-5'E5iHo <-<-*; a 3 S o o^ ^ o " -g £ oii ^- S? lU > ^ >.- 3 -> PjJ i, 2^t a*^ o- 2c|i2-a t" <— u C.S 3 < £i .? se ; * 8 fi-Sa-Scgcf c m !> CO M a; hfi i; MM ° 3"" ^ = = E-3.a « - cb»* m "■ rt cc ^^^ « D rt TJ u] " cr, "^ I- S rt a> 5 11 s a 11 r/l art ?> =« C "a to S ^^ a ^5 ' ^Ji ^-C O^ 2'|-2 j; " ■* T!

The word Zouave is Arabic, and is applied to the warlike tribe of Kabyles, in Algiers, who were hired as soldiers by the rulers of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli. When the French conquered Algiers, in 1830, they retained the Zouave warriors, but took care to introduce an equal number of French soldiers into their ranks. The Moorish, costume was retained, but the European arms and discipline took the place of those formeriy in use. 201 a V o >.<« c = - * O < S S S .2 2 '^ '* s s m a EDOUARD DBlAtLLh^S "SURPRISED IN A CHATEAU."— Detaille was born in 1848, at Paris. (He was a pupil of Meissonier, and, like him, has made his fame as a military painter. During the Franco- German war he was one of the secretaries of General Appert. and made drawings which were of use in the conduct of military operations. He was one of the founders of the Society of French Water-Color Painters. In 188 1, additional to other well-earned distinctions, he was made an officer of the Legion of Honor. In the remarkable picture under view Detaille shows the advance guard of a body of French troops who have caught German soldiers in an old country house. Evidently the Germans sought the interior of the building in a hurry, as witness the knapsack and helmet left at the foot of the steps. 203 2 - •- . ^ I ^ ~ ^ c -3 s .j -r - .= j; S ^ 5 2 5 -5 ^ SjO P = S - - I -3 i f S S! «i - = ; - 1 ^ r ? ? ^j X — -• •; i - = ? tc -r E.- =- 5 ^ c-g K - a. - .= - T w £ I fe s I p fc^ ■s - i ? t *^ • J-' = 1- s* " '" ^ -'.i ~ ^ — i— g o — '-S-i*' — 'a-a = 2 •= c 2 Si = '■ = £.

JaEfii^^ LUTHER MONUMENT, DRESDEN, QERMANY.— Dresden, the capital of Saxony, is sometimes called the " German Florence " on account of its pre-eminence in the ownership of objects of art. Perhaps no city in the world has a larger or more valuable collection of paintings, statuary, gems, arms, porcelain, jewels and similar things than Dresden, which is accordingly nmch affected by artists and their kind. It is meet that Dresden should have a noble monument to one of the most gifted and great of Germans. He was, moreover, born in Saxony, at Eisleben, where, also, he died in the year 1546, when 63 years of age. Luther was buried at Wittenberg. The great Protestant had also no mean claim to recognition as a poet and a musician. 219 QUTENBERO HOUSE, STRASBURd, GERMANY — A statue of Johann Gutenberg was erected in 1840 at StrnshiirK, where he coiuhicteil his first ex^)eriiiieiits in the art of priiitini; from movable type.

Byron's description of the Rhine, as seen above Cologne, is faithful and beautiful : A blending of all beauties ; streams and dells, Fruit, foliage, crag, wood, cornfield, mountain, vine, , And chiefless castles breathing stern farewells From gray but leafy walls, where Ruin greenly dwells. On this page a contrast is presented by the modern castle Drachenburg and the grim ruins of Sonneck. This castle answers fullj? to the poet's admirable word-painting. It is one of five castles in ruins seen from the summit of the Schloss, and is said to have existed in its present condition since 1282. In that year it was demolished by the Emperol Rudolph, of Hapsburg, as it was a robbers' den. The lords of Sonneck were among tlie most powerful nobles on the •i)aiiks of the Rhine.

The museum has a superb collection of paintings. — Stuttgart, the capital of Wiirtemberg, is surrounded by gardens and vineyards, and is entered by an avenue of poplars. It is one of the hand.somest of German cities, and is prosperous on account of its- manufactures and industries. The people have access to a public library containing nearly half a million volumes, and Stuttgart is otherwise rich in the possession of means of education and of culti- vating the fine arts.

SLAUGHTER OF THE TEN THOUSAND, HOLLAND.— A Nederland scene horrible in all its details, yet one not infrequent during the terrible days of the Inquisition. When Philip II. of Spain assumed the Nederland crown, he introduced all the barbarities of the Spanish Inquisition. The whole lowland population of three million souls were placed under the ban, and to the horrors of the stake were added those of the scenes before you, to-wit, the throwing of thousands over a precipice and the final disposition of the maimed by means of the sword. Happily the spirit of the - Reformation came on, which put an end to inquisitorial f radices. 23y THE PALACE AT AMSTERDAH, HOLLAND. OLD WINDMILL AT HAARLEM, HOLLAND.

The style of architecture is not only Oriental, but it is peculiar to buildings dedicated to Buddhic worship. The principle is that of a series of receding stories, not often exceeding nine in number. Throughout all India, as far as to Siam, the facades of these stories and the angles they make with one another, are highly ornamented with reliefs more or less fantastic, shells and costly stones. Their profusion is simply bewildering, and their effect under the sunshine is most striking. i47 5 S' t;- 5 : o c i« c — * *> r « - ii J s a ■? ;s s 0) ja •=1 9 a t« ta POi y I-* tM ' iH JJ i1 2 9 o Jl ^ u Ut3 o " M'5 « "> a 5- a it- z '*"' ^, s « _ t; >^r3 S « =.

Suffice it to add, that in the palace of the illustration at that lime f;aiety surpassed itself, and the good things of this life were enjoyed to a degree unsurpassed in an age of great uxury. — The Pantheon, a relic of ancient Rome dedicated to the worship of all the gods in its original use, is introduced aptly as the second picture on this page, because it was there that in 1891 an outbreak began which, it was thought, tnight have resulted in the Pope's leaving Rome for Avignon or some other city as his permanent residence. 263 tf) < a ^ U CA X wag ^ = P * S Si S * X S. ee X o 3 s^ ^ = = 12 ' o •'.'5'i'o '^ "^ * af|5 •- ? = « ^ at R -O e. * -3 3 5. i 2 5'^-' =- « '•••2 O .. /J 1*^ s -. r •* "- - ■C-z tU' -•■= Si - o ujj" § =5 E o _ c r -^ Sf « -^ c V = t: u - g ' !p^ v & ,c : j= t: i; o S S f? » ^11 OS 'm -- — ^ o_; a- 8 o u = t) •— a !=-^|ll1§|l*ll .2 3 2 S ^T3 ' ^ *i « s :S§ H t« ?! « 5 „ s '^mJ f- $ © cc ?

This splendor was succeeded, in her political extinction, by a fittmg aspect of desolation : " And silent rows the songless gondolier ; Her palaces are crumbling to the shore." Horatio V Brown, in his historical sketch of the republic of Venice, remarks that "No state, except Athens, has ever presented at the very core of her life, the idea of herself with such sumptuous personification in art." 269 HOME OF DESDEMONA. — This magnificent portraiture introduces you to Venice, Queen of the Adriatic Sea, and Italy's pride, whose streets are water, whose majestic buildings stand on piles. The beauty and value of the scene are enhanced by its central feature, the "Home of Desdemona," which rises as if from the water and presents in perfect form the leading characteristics of early Venetian architecture — facade of rich marble in colors, highly sculptured porticoes, lavishly traced windows and ornamental cornices. From its front Othello's faithful gondolier spiritecf away at midnight the beautiful Desdemona and carried her to the arms of her dusky lover. At its doors the jealous Roderigo and treacherous lago beat their alarm and shrieked their warning, till the startled Brabantio was aroused from his slumbers to find their story of the elopement all too true. 271 w c = = ■•3 S ^ w ts 5--= '^- «S •fields - „ 5 S B> - ^ a. o <- = £.3-53 -^■s ti o o -" a u s u ~ s ** ^ • V &) « gg .5 >-3 3 a •> 2 •" 2 3 ^ ¥=* « a i = 5 " a C i _. .5 S aa c.«.2 5 c o ^ a w _i 0« . n3 « u = *!. 5 « n a * £ aca i r^js 2 Si c t» 2?a8fs<3 > 3 g«5s 0_, . 900 5 SS-sgg| V u c « n 7 a u4 ^ _ C iJ S Q 2-2 3 !^^ -g bet 03< « ^ ^ a| y M « o ^ o > «J3 a o-^^ CO u "^ tfi J3 -'-^ 5 " &^ w t> Si i~3 'C'i:' J3 '_ •;3 o cu -"-2 rt g § 8 ■3 '" ■'5 - B >-^ t; o «* • -J OJ > 4J n > ^ .ti " > o _ ^ 1) rt +3 ^ g •"^1 o "« s ._ S* --^-< -,-i: °S :■" ^c|2* oj oj 1) c 13 J x: J! o ^ ^ -B -a ^ "3 V Q in t S - ^ ui a> « t/3 -a .ti -S t?

The inevitable yoke of custom in the Orient does not yet oppress her vi-ith its full weight. Within a few years she \yill never appear in public places without a veil, and her outdoor dress will be supplemented with a flowing robe reaching from the shoulders to the feet. She belongs to a family possessing means ; going to the well for water does not suggest poverty to any one acquainted with Eastern customs. Although she belongs to the sex which is inferior and degraded in Oriental contemplation, the feminine love of finery asserts itself Arab women are extravagantly fond of ornaments. The variety of chains, bracelets, anklets, necklaces and rings which they wear is endless. Note the headdress of coins worn by this sweet young girl and the many coins depending from her neck and worn on her arm.

OSBORN HOUSE, QUEEN VICTORIA'S SEASIDE VILLA. Queen Victoria delights the most in her Scottish home, Balmoral Castle, in the Highlands. As palaces go it is neither spacious nor splendid, and the Queen's preference for it is not shared by her attendants. A witty lady of title says on this subject, " Long drives in the cold and dark, and occasional tea picnics in the snow, are not appreciated by everybody." Her Majesty enjoys the open air, taking her breakfa.st out of doors whenever possible. Her good health at an advanced age — she was born in 1819 — is the best evidence of her good judgment in this matter. When in the country, either in Scotland or at her villa, Osborn House, Isle of Wight, the Queen makes good friends of the neigh- boring poor, visiting them at their homes and reading the Bible to the old and infinn. She pays all doctors' bills incurred on her estate at Osborn. The good old lady who presides over British affairs is happiest remote from pomp and splendor, living simply in the quiet country. 343 2 02 =-=5 ^3 i « a o 8 'Sj w Si ^" g id- ',3 tn tfi a u- o ^ u ^ (U m 4> T^ U D Ji i-i IS c .2 ri S S t3 a Oj tS w 'u ^ u a a .^ H tfi tS iZ d ™ m •'3 cS «j r^ *r ^ r; i be (fi ■? c O _2 ■M CJ *> u 02 i 5 n o CO 3 U4 o -4-1 4^ o rt t.

S. A The highest artificial elevation in the world was completed ninety-nine years after its inception. It combines the two intentions of a monument to "the father of his country," and of an historical column. A vote for the first-named purpose was given by the Continental Congress, in 1783. Both are mentioned in L'Enfant's original plan of the Federal City, and the monument stands on what would have been the site for an equestrian statue of George Washington, had the purpose of the vote of 1783 been carried out to the letter. The corner-stone of the shaft was laid on July 4, 1848, and on December 6, 1884, the capstone, weighing 3300 pounds, was placed in position. I^rom basement to tip of this grand monument is 555 feet, and it weighs 80,000 tons.

It is a typical Arabian street of the past, without the alterations which time has effected. This street is a charming aggregation of mosques and twenty -five houses of the town, selected from the most characteristic specimens from the far-off age of Toulon to the last century. AZTEC AND INDIAN HOMES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.— The Aztec and Indian homes on exhibition at the Chicago Fair are just as natural and true to life as when in our school days we saw them illustrated and read about them in the geography of our times. The Indian hut differs very materially from the more solidly constructed homes of the more refiuetl ."iztecs, who were an intelligent people, even when Pizarro invaded Mexico. 397 FRENCH RENAISSANCE AT THE WORLD'S FAIR The civnlized world is familiar with the Renaissance style of I'rench architecture, as exhibited at the Chicago Fair.

His opportunities at home are so comprehensive that he is at home everywhere. — The city of Osaka has innumerable bridges ; on its waters hundreds of junks and small boats move up or down with every tide. — On November 6, 1892, the Amalgamated Labor Council having so decided, all the Unions connected with it began to take part in a battle which had originated in a demand for higher wages made by the draymen and truck- men and opposed by the merchants of New Orleans. The strikers succeeded in closing all business. 411 .

It is thirty-six miles south of Jacksonville, and stands on a low, narrow and sandy peninsula but waive feet above the ocean level. Its sea front of a mile iu length is a granite wall whose top affords a splendid drive. At the northern end of this wall stands the old fort of San Marco, now called Fort Marion. It is a well-preserved specimen of Spanish military architecture, and was finished in the year 1756. It is in the form of a trapezium, and ■covers about four acres of ground. It is provided with a moat, outwork walls twenty-one feet high, corner bastions, heavy casemates, dungeons and subterranean passages. It is built of coquina, a curious shelly conglomerate, quarried -^nd carried in a soft condition from Anastasia Island, but which hardens quickly on exposure. 41.3 ~r. — T'iT- ' i »■■ m ^fT"] •|C:(| J^ 'd^' =: -: C .tJ VI yn « u P. s 5 "7^ rt CD ;£ V P § ^ ■♦-J u y> Tl O ^ T) o< ' ' bi X Uh c C8 3 W o b/ g n o "3 a c 1 3 OJ ■*-» O n 3 >, U J3 i> P5 Cl!

DARKTOWN COURTSHIP. — The illustration is self-interpreting, written in a language which everybody understands While the wooer is hardly an ideal hero of the conventional love story, his plea for partnership in his humble home gives promise of being successful. Thus far the .\fro- American's contributions to the good of the community have taken the form of physical labor chiefly, but his capacity of eloquent expression has been demon- strated in the forum and the pulpit, and in meritorious verse and prose, small in quantity thus far, but prophetic of coming wealth of oratory and literature. In music he has already made a reputation. Time will develop cultivation and refinement, and the strong affection of the African nature will find voice in verse bearing the supremely interesting and peculiar characteristics which mark all that he has done in letters and in art. A volume of love poem? from a '' darkey " poet may be looked for, the specimen jewel from a productive mine. 419 C 9 S S = = = r . 5 " - f^u^rC i^ r - s c§5 . „ s- a - ■>_-_.* ^ a = _- = = .s = i: _ OB? *— * r =- = a a = 2 ^i ji'l'S = u 2 E "^ C * ^ U *•■ ^7:= 5 H is if ~ 3 - V • /:- - S u o a 0-3 4( 5 5"''3'i3 •*' o n g J o •j 5 a .- gi!

In the one, the children of abui. lance, if not of luxury, and a refined civilization are enjoying an incident of their summer rest ; in the other, degraded Cheyenne Indians are engaged in a barbaric dance in far-off and lonesome Montana. Indian dances are becoming less significant of danger to the peace, and are probably oftener an act of commercial enterprise undertaken (or the amusement of the white people than the spontaneous expression of joy, superstition or warlike excitement. But to a pleasanter subject. The season at Narragansett Pier is at its height m August. Up to i p. m. , after a reasonable post-breakfast lounge bathing is the chief amusement, enjoyed on a beach entirely eligible for the curDOse. iz9 'I'c 2 b « c E ti ~ _ = « o ^ = = r. "» ?.

S. Johnston. Johnston attacked Grant with a superior force on the 6th, and drove him back in confusion to the river and with great loss. Buell arrived with reinforcements, and on the 7th the Confederates were driven from the field with severe loss. Hardly any battle of the war was more desperately fought. SIEQE OF VICKSBURO. — Vicksburg, on impregnable bluffs, was regarded as the kev to the " Father of Waters." Vain attempts had been made by the Union forces to take it in front. At length Grant marched his army of 70,000 men to the rear, and approached it by siege operations lasting over two mouths, and ending in the capture of the place with the entire Confederate Armv, July 4, 1S63. 443 BA1TLE OF ALLATOONA PASS.— This celebrated pass is in Bartow County, Georgia, 40 miles north of Atlanta, (ieiieral J.
