The photography was by Norma R. Waterbury.

Norma Rose Warterbury was born in Yercand, Madras, India on the 11th. June 1883. 

She wrote the book entitled 'Around the World With Jack and Janet: a Study of Missions.'

The work was published in 1915 by the Central Committee on the United Study of Foreign Missions of West Medford, Massachusetts.

Norma's 158-page book covers topics which include foreign travel, missions and missionaries, as well as study and teaching in foreign parts. 

This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. It was reprinted by Forgotten Books of London in 2020 who have written the following about it:

"Discover an eye-opening journey through diverse 
cultures and fascinating lands as the author takes 
you on an exciting voyage of discovery around the 
world. 
Through the eyes of twin siblings, Jack and Janet, 
this travelogue provides a vivid portrayal of life in 
the early 1900's. From the bustling streets of Cairo 
to the serene temples of Ceylon and the vibrant 
landscapes of India, the author weaves a rich 
tapestry of human experience, capturing the 
essence of each unique destination. 
Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of 
characters, and delve into the customs and 
traditions of different societies. 
With a keen eye for detail and a compassionate 
heart, the author explores themes of cultural 
exchange, religious diversity, and the common 
thread of humanity that connects us all, ultimately 
highlighting the transformative power of travel to 
broaden our perspectives and foster understanding."

Norma married Raphael Clarke Thomas, Doctor of Medicine, and changed her name to Norma Rose Thomas. She died at the age of 90 years and 11 months in Georgetown, Essex, Massachusetts, United States on the 11th. May 1974.
