These are accompanied by extensive descriptions of the sights and experiences through the eyes of a privileged girl of 10 who spent two years abroad with her family, much of it travelling through Italy but in other countries too, including England. During their 2-year stay abroad Alce wrote many letters to her Aunt Alice Sprague, which were apparently handed back to her for nsertion in the scrap album upon their return home. These letters only help to embellish young Alice's adventures in Europe! The Scrapbook contains well over 100 pages filled with Diary Entries, Letters and Ephemera pertaining to the trip of a lifetime. The 2nd page contains what might be an original ticket stub for entry to Inauguration of the Transalpine Simplon Tunnel at the Exposition Internationale held in Milan from April-November 1906, not to mention all the illustrated letterheads and postcards, including the pair of chromolithographed 1906 interior and exterior views of the S.S. Amerika.On July 28, 1904, at age 10, Alice and her siblings Frances & Caryl set sail on the SS Moltka with family and friends (Grace?), not returning to Buffalo until late June or early July of 1906. They did the “Grand Tour” concentrating on Italy but including other European countries including England and not returning to Buffalo, NY until Late June-Early July of 1906, having been abroad almost 2 years. Grandma Martin (Eleanor Martin of Buffalo?), Aunt May and Aunt Alice may have been on trip too.
