Railroad publicist Joseph Gladding Pangborn organized the World's Transportation Commission to gather information about foreign transportation systems, especially railroads, for the Field Columbian Museum in Chicago. The Commission began its tour in Tunis in late 1894, and finished in Russia in 1896. William Henry Jackson was the official photographer for the trip.
