Tangier & Spain 1913 (Sunday 13th to Monday 14th April) 1913

Editor: This is "Tangier & Spain 1913 (Sunday 13th to Monday 14th April)" by Leslie Hamilton Wilson. It looks like a small, leather-bound travel journal. What stories might this object hold? Curator: Indeed. Considering the date, 1913, this journal presents a window into the pre-war fascination with exotic locales. How might its contents challenge or reinforce the prevailing colonial narratives of that era? Editor: So, you're saying it's not just a personal diary, but a potential artifact reflecting broader power dynamics? Curator: Precisely. The journal's very existence speaks to the privilege of travel, and its perspectives likely participated in the cultural discourse of the time, whether consciously or not. It's a document ripe for analysis. Editor: That gives me a lot to consider about what's inside! Curator: And how museums shape these narratives by choosing what stories to tell. Food for thought!
