Round The World Club-Book Of Stamped Folded Letters

Quote:
As the 1920's proceeded there was an increasing interest in our shrinking world where travel round-the-world would become possible for even the common man.

Elmer D Raymond formed the "Round-the-World Society" and became its leader calling himself a "Globetrotter." He solicited subscribers who would receive detailed travel letters sent by him as he globetrotted round-the world. These letters would later be bound into books entitled, "Letters From a Globetrotter" and when read would be an accurate commentary of the shrinking world as it existed in 1925 and 1926. These folded letters written by Raymond and sent to members of the "Round-the-World Society" without envelopes but stamped and postmarked from the visited countries would be compiled and saved and bound into volumes with inserts and a pull-out map of the world.

Raymond began his journey from New York City on July 6, 1925 when he crossed the Atlantic on a steamer bound for Southampton England. Some of his travel was made by aeroplane and his flight from London to Paris is a factual commentary of his flying experiences.
