Burton Holmes (1870–1958), an American travel writer, photographer, and lecturer, is often hailed as the “father of travelogues” for his innovative approach to documenting global journeys through film.

His engaging lectures, featuring motion pictures and hand-colored slides, introduced American audiences to the rich cultures and landscapes of far-off destinations. Holmes’ pioneering work in travel filmmaking and storytelling not only captivated his contemporaries but also laid the groundwork for the modern concept of exploring the world from the comfort of home.
