Scope and Content Note

This Travel Photo Journal of Julia B.R. documents the journey of a woman named Julia as she visits sites in Germany, Switzerland, and Holland in 1948 and 1949. The travel journal is 43 pages long and includes a map, 103 photographs, 5 postcards, and a Lotus Club announcement. Some of the sites she visits includes Garmisch, Zugspitze, the Passion Play Theater in Oberammergau, and Linderhof Palace in Germany; Zermatt, the Matterhorn, the Alps, Monte Rosa, and the Gornergrat in Switzerland, Berne, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Nuremburg, Germany; and Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Harlem, The Hague, Alkmaar, Aalsmeer, Scheveningen, Noordwijk, Marken, and Volendam, Holland.  The journal mentions the skiing and skating activities in Switzerland and the author's encounter with Colonel Wilde and French actress Josette Day while they were filming the 1950 movie Swiss Tour, also known as Four Days Leave.  During her stay in Holland, Julia interacted and learned about the vast fields of tulips and hyacinths.  She was also warned by her guide not to talk about Germany or anything German to the Dutch during her visit and noted areas that were devastated by bombing during World War II.
