Every Wednesday in July, we will be participating in the #LibraryGetaway Challenge! This week’s feature comes from our Morris Collection.
Marriott C. Morris’s daughter Janet Morris created this travel journal to commemorate the family’s vacation to Europe in 1925. The first half of the journal contains Janet’s fanciful imaginings of what her trip might be like, including getting swept off her feet by a foreign man. The second half is filled with clippings, tickets, and mementos of the Morris family’s journey through England and France.
See more journals from our Morris Collection here.
