Orient Express Budapest-Constantinople (1903)
From a set of originally more than 200 negatives. Unfortunately many of them were exposed to moisture during the last 114 years and are irretrievable lost. I have not scanned and edited all the negatives yet, but I will upload the better ones from time to time. The amateur photographer certainly did not have the best camera, some pictures are only snapshots, but they still convey an interesting impression about an exotic journey at the very beginning of the 20th century.
The family who made this trip started from Lohr am Main heading to Vienna, where they probably visited friends before they boarded the Orient Express Wien - Budapest - Belgrad - Sofia - Constantinople. Part of the journey was made on a ship on the river Danube.
In Turkey, they made a trip to Eskisehir.
