| book description |

A revealing and beautifully illustrated critical edition of Gardnerâ€™s collaged travel albums In 1865, art collector and philanthropist Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840â€“1924) lost her only child to pneumonia at less than two years old. In an effort to rouse her from depression, Gardner and her husband, Jack, travelled to northern Europe and Russia. It was the first of many trips abroad that would eventually take her from the Middle East to Asiaâ€”trips that she documented in exquisitely crafted collaged travel albums. Fellow Wanderer brings together nearly thirty of Gardnerâ€™s striking travelogues, spanning some thirty-nine countries and offering invaluable perspective on the global influences on this legendary collector and patron of the arts. This book features beautiful facsimiles of Gardnerâ€™s travel albumsâ€”largely unpublished until nowâ€”along with essays by leading scholars who place these diaries and sketchbooks within the context of the art and culture of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia in the nineteenth century. The essays explore a host of topics, such as Gardnerâ€™s engagement with world religions while abroad, how she incorporated designs and ideas from around the globe into her Boston museum, and the ways in which the imperial power structures of the era facilitated her travels. Lushly illustrated, Fellow Wanderer provides a uniquely intimate look at how Gardnerâ€™s rich and diverse experiences abroad instilled her collecting and patronage with a truly global vision of art.
