Caption
Steam-boat passengers on the Rhine, 1845. German men ''...sketched on board a steam-boat on the Rhine; and they present five average specimens of tourists: first, we have the shrewd-looking passenger with his high stock, and round-crowned hat; then the pursy voyageur, with the cap and cloak, the "consolations of travel"; next the bearded youth, with slouched hat and cravat à la Byron, cigar-in-mouth. But, where is the pipe ? - why in the mouths of the two remaining characters, one of whom wears a cap of almost eastern cut, whilst the other has the real cap of travel, which, by the way, is of German origin, and has become the travelling-cap of Europe'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
