Summary "The Lure of the Camera" by Charles S. Olcott is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This illustrated work captures the author's adventures as he explores various places of literary and historic significance, particularly focusing on the charm of amateur photography and how it informs his experiences during his journeys. The narrative is not just about the locations visited but also about the personal connections made along the way, celebrating the beauty of nature and the essence of capturing moments through the lens of a camera. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Olcott's early fascination with photography, showcasing his initial experiences with a camera that ignited a passion that would grow throughout his life. He recounts humorous episodes, including the challenges he faced while using different types of cameras and developing film, ultimately reflecting on how photography transformed the way he viewed and interacted with the world. This leads into the broader theme of the book: a series of "rambles" to picturesque and historically significant locales, linking the personal joys of travel to the art of photography in capturing the allure of the settings and their literary connections.
