From the captivating illustrations of Gustave Doré to the unknown creators who captured his remarkable experiences, his journey was nothing short of extraordinary. An accident marked the beginning of Walter's autumn tour in Andalusia. As he navigated through this enchanting region, he witnessed the beauty depicted by Doré and met natives from Jaen who shared their intriguing customs. Continuing his expedition, Walter ventured into Borneo where he encountered the Dyaks of the Tribe of Badjows. Their unique way of life left an indelible impression on him as A. M. Cameron documented their existence. A storm on the Amazon tested Walter's resilience during his trip up Trombetas River.

Although these creators remain anonymous, they immortalized unforgettable moments from Walter's exploration. Walter then found himself amidst a palm grove in Mexico's Tierra Caliente while ascending Cofre de Perote mountain. The unknown artist portrayed this serene scene that contrasted with earlier adrenaline-filled escapades. The coast of Lazestan beckoned Walter next, offering him an opportunity for new adventures documented by Frederick A. Lyons. This picturesque location provided a backdrop for cultural immersion and discovery beyond imagination. Hauling in a drum-fish off Florida's shores brought excitement during Walter’s flying visit to America’s Sunshine State - Thomas Mayne Reid skillfully illustrated this exhilarating encounter that epitomized Florida’s natural wonders. Finally, Rio De Janeiro revealed its splendor alongside Brazil’s Organ Mountains, as captured by Thomas Woodbine Hinchliff.
