America Revisited by our Special Artist: Nellie Bly, at Willard's Hotel, after her journey round the world, 1890. 'Our Special Artist has been at Washington, the Federal capital of the United States, and has made Sketches of characteristic American figures among the regular customers of Willard's Hotel, where politicians of different sections, business men, "hustlers," and "log-rollers," commercial travellers or "drummers," professional men, journalists, and sporting men from all parts of the Union, are wont to assemble during the Session of Congress...Willard's Hotel also has its receptions of distinguished persons. Nellie Bly, the famous globe-trotter, was passing through on her lecturing tour, and was at home to numerous visitors in one of the hotel parlours, where she modestly and prettily told the story of her wanderings. She is a bright, pretty girl, with a slight and elegant figure. Her mother was with her'. Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman (1864-1922), better known by her pen name Nellie Bly, was an American journalist who was widely known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days in emulation of Jules Verne's fictional character Phileas Fogg. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
