Summary: a peregrination for the simple wayfarer
Review: this account of mr. fulton's journey across the world fed me with images of profound beauty, simple and fleeting figures, and visual humility. i really enjoyed the simplicity of the book's layout and architecture -- there was no need for more text; the photographs supplied the reader with its own 'blind' footnotes. i liked the fact that the book captured how travel can be simple, at times clumsy, and incredibly poignant. this is a beautiful book.

Summary: Nice, but could have been better
Review: To have a book of "round the world trip 1933" must be great? Well unfortuanetly one gets the feeling this book could have been better. More pictures, as Fulton was a very talented photographer in his days. Some countries are hardly represented: Japan 2 pictures, France 1, Java 1. It wouldn't have hurt to include more photographs, as hardly any text is included. I felt the book is not really giving a deep insight in his travels / experiences he had in the 1930's.
