Review:
A collection consisting chiefly of sixteen photograph albums created by Theo von Roth himself that depict his voyages and travels throughout the world and various social events, balls, and parties he organized. These albums have been organized chronologically and by topic. The first one is a selection of personal portraits of Theo von Roth himself. Volumes 2-9 chronicle his frequent and wide-ranging travels with scenes of the many places he visited, the many people with whom he was acquainted, the homes in which he lived or stayed and the landmarks he saw. Volumes 10-15 document many of the important events he organized or hosted and the people who sponsored and attended them. Volume 16 is a scrapbook that contains examples of the invitations, programs and announcements of these events. Within each volume, there is not a consistent order of dates, and some events are covered in more than one volume. Finally, there are several folders of loose materials and photographs.
