Pelops Cruise, 1903

Scope and Contents

This large album was assembled by Wace scrapbook style, with a mixture of print size and print types (gelatin silver and cyanotypes) of the 'Pelops' Aegean cruise in 1903. It has a much more informal feel than the previous two albums of the same cruise, which carefully document the progress of the cruise and the archaeological sites visited in order of the original itinerary. This is more of a joyous riot of memories of an extremely happy time when Wace was 24 and very new to travelling through the Aegean landscapes which were to take such a deep hold on his affections for the rest of his life. Appropriately enough, the printed cover of the album is entitled 'Sunny Memories'. Sites featured include Bassae, Ephesus, Pergamon, Miletus, Olympia and Delos.
