Antique Postcard Scrap Book Europe 1907 For Sale

Very cool scrap book from a European cruise taken in 1907. The ship is the SS Astoria, and the cruise started June 22, 1907 and ended September 18th, 1907. From what I can tell, they sailed from New York and first went to Ireland, then Wales, England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and then returned to New York. The postcards are glued or pasted into the book. By my best count there are 75 postcards. The book appears to be someone\'s former geometry notebook, and there are a few sketches and writing on pages behind the postcards and in the back. There is a crossed out name and address in the front of the book from Washington DC. I was a collector of antique postcards and photos for many years, and this book was something I got from an sale, though I don\'t remember where or when. You\'ll see the label on the cover of the book has what appear to be Austrian style shields with eagles. There is writing on nearly every postcard, as they narrated the trip. It\'s interesting to consider this cruise was about seven years before Europe was engulfed in World War One. So this traveler got to see Europe before the destruction of WW1 and WW2. It must have been a magical time.The book is approximately 8\" x 10\".
