Eric Newby at the RGS - What the Traveller Saw
To mark the centenary of his birth the Royal Geographical Society is showing an online exhibition of his photos. The Guardian has an article that features a few images.

Thanks for the links. I shall enjoy looking at the exhibition. I have read many of his books but most were my Dad's and I have some but I didn't rescue all of them after his death. His books are all well worth a read.
I do, however, have his book by the same name - What the Traveller Saw - which is one of my favourite photographic books. Mike Last edited by MikeHeller; 30th April 2020 at 07:08 PM. Reason: Corrections |

I say this only half in jest but I need to stop looking at these links, Nick. I went on to look at Jill Gascoigne in pictures, not knowing she had died or how old she was
It starts to get depressing when I remember some of them still as they were as if frozen in time and as if it was yesterday when they appeared to be about the same age as me. But it was not yesterday and I have aged just as quickly I recall my dad in his last few years saying that he dreaded every month as he was attending at least one funeral per month of people he knew who had gone. It didn't mean as much as it should have and I have no idea if there was anything I could have done anyway to make him feel better but I now appreciate his feeling about such matters much better now Mike |

I read a couple of his books - Love and War in the Apennines - which was quite harrowing and Round Ireland in Low Gear which was very amusing.
I didn't realise that he had worked for the Observer. That's what life was like before Google - you never could find stuff out very easily. Martin |

Indeed Martin, I read 'A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush' in my teens and often wondered how he got there!
