Henry Boynton & Co. 13,000 Miles of Sight Seeing in Thirty Days. 1891.

13,000 Miles of Sight Seeing in Thirty Days is a narrative travel publication promoting a rapid grand tour of Europe, presented as a competitive journey with a prize attached. Issued by Henry Boynton & Co., the book combines descriptive accounts, practical impressions, and a selection of engraved illustrations covering major cities and cultural landmarks. It frames European travel as a continuous sequence of sights, emphasizing speed, variety, and the appeal of a condensed itinerary. The volume reflects late-19th-century approaches to organized touring and the popularization of illustrated travel literature.
