With a globe at her feet and a travel guide book in her hand, a Victorian woman is basks in the warmth of her hearth. Comfortably nestled in her drawing room, she dreams of faraway places, conjuring up images of Gibraltar, Egypt, Rome, Japan and India. To take her to all these places, she also envisions one of the mighty liners of the North German Lloyd fleet, steaming out of New York harbor, with the Statue of Liberty in the distance.
