Synopsis
The Lure Of The Camera by Charles Sumner Olcott is a travel writing and photography memoir that chronicles the author’s experiences as an amateur photographer and writer. Through a sequence of vivid itineraries, Olcott intertwines photography with literary exploration, from rambling jaunts in Great Britain—tracing scenes connected to George Eliot, Hawthorne, Wordsworth, and Scott—to journeys in Italy’s lakes and villas, and across New England’s literary heartland. The book blends practical anecdotes about photography—loading film, developing negatives, and choosing viewpoints—with reflective portraits of writers and landscapes. It also surveys the social and cultural contexts of the sites: the George Eliot country near Arbury Hall, Hawthornden and Roslin Glen in Scotland, Mrs. Ward’s villas on Lake Como, Concord and Walden Pond, and the grand canyons of the American West. Throughout, Olcott treats the camera as a means to observe, preserve memory, and connect readers with places linked to literature, history, and natural wonders.
