Bouillon Cup in Tudor Rose Pattern, 1912-1919

Summary

Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and naturalist John Burroughs embarked on a series of camping trips between 1916 and 1924. These self-proclaimed Vagabonds loved to explore nature and the pre-industrial landscape, but they also camped in style. This group of well-to-do adventurers brought along service staff and all needed amenities including a set of durable, Art and Crafts-patterned china.
