A Trip to Europe! Part 3 of 4

Prior posts explained the photo album documenting a trip to Europe taken in 1901 by my Woodruff ancestors and the start of their journey in Scotland, Wales, and England. The photos appear to be out of order (including one photo from Paris!), and it is unlikely that they were placed in the album in chronological order. 

From England they crossed the channel and started their adventures on the Continent, visiting France, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands. The photographs appear to be in a better order than those from the first part of their journey, but they are not in the exact order of their trip unless they crisscrossed back and forth across Switzerland.

The map shows all the locations from which they took photos, with the exception of photos taken on the river Rhine.

    

The start of their photographic essay on the Continent is in Paris, where they stayed at 44 Rue de Clichy.

v  Eiffel Tower                              v  Pantheon

v  St-Denis                                  v  Cluny Museum

v  Arc de Triomphe de l’Etoile     v  Hotel des Invalides

                                                     v  Versailles

From France they travelled to Switzerland, where their photographs feel very out of order! This is the order in which they are placed in the album:

v  Tete Noire                                                 v  Staubbach Falls

v  Martigny                                                   v Chamonix

v  Brὔnig Pass                                              v Interlaken

v  Lake Thun                                                v Lake Brienzersee

v  Scheidegg                                                v Lake Lucerne

v  Mὔrren                                                      v Nyon

v  Trient                                                         v Geneva

v  Lauterbrunnen
