New York: Adolph Rozenoer for Intercollegiate Travel Bureau, [1933]. Octavo, 64 pages. Color pictorial wraps, staple bound. Amply illustrated.

The half tones from photographs have wonderful nonsensical captions like a blurb about seeing a famed Da Vinci fresco stating: “You should plan to go very soon if you hope ever to see this masterpiece...” Not found on OCLC. $45
