These lined copy books contain an account, principally in the form of copies of dated letters to relatives in California, of an extended European business trip made by D.M. Seaton between 1898 and 1902. The text is illustrated with mounted postcards, photographs (albumen), clippings, and other ephemera. Seaton arrived in Germany in September 1898 and remained there working and touring until February 1899 when he moved to England. His English residence, lasting until 1902, was punctuated with excursions throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. In April 1900 he visited the Exposition universelle internationale in Paris (v. 5); the photographs that illustrate this visit are by Neurdein Frères (ND Phot). Seaton's text provides a description of the European cities where he visited and worked. He also discusses business activities in Germany, England, and Ireland, illustrating this facet of his account with photographs of machinery (particularly looms), clippings, and printed brochures. Vols. 1-6 were written for and dedicated to Alice L. Seaton, and given to her in 1902; v. 7 was dedicated to Seaton's sister, Mrs. C.W. Tozer.
