Summary "The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine (June 1913)" is a diverse collection of essays, articles, and illustrations produced by various authors and contributors, published in the early 20th century. This edition, serving as a travel number, covers a wide array of topics, including travel experiences, cultural observations, historical accounts, and reflections on contemporary issues of the time. The writings provide readers with insights into places such as the Great St. Bernard Pass and Japan, alongside features on notable figures and artistic contributions. The opening of the magazine introduces several pieces, beginning with a detailed account of the Great St. Bernard Pass by Ernst von Hesse-Wartegg. He describes the breathtaking yet wild landscape of the Alps, noting the pass's historical significance as a route for armies and merchants. Hesse-Wartegg reflects on the incredible resilience of the local mountaineers amid harsh conditions while often contrasting their enduring way of life with that of modern travelers. Following this, the content shifts to various cultural explorations, including a Japanese account of the ceremonies and customs surrounding the birth of a child. Collectively, this opening invites readers to journey both through the majestic nature of places and into the intricacies of cultural practices, setting the tone for a multifaceted exploration of the world.
