w55 2/1 p. 78 Part 3: Expanding the Organization ***So in 1891 Russell as the Society’s president made his first trip abroad to stimulate and expand the interest in countries outside the United States and Canada. Two months were set aside for this missionary tour. From New York city Russell’s party sailed for Belfast, Ireland. From there, after a meeting with friends, they went on to visit other groups and historic places in Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh; then to Copenhagen, Denmark; Germany’s Berlin and Leipzig; Vienna, Austria; Kischenev in Russia; Constantinople, Turkey; Athens, Greece; Jerusalem in Palestine; Egypt’s Cairo and the pyramids; Rome, Italy; Berne, Switzerland; Paris, France; Brussels, Belgium; Amsterdam, Holland; and then to London and Liverpool, at each of which Russell spoke to 150 before returning to New York. Of this tour he reports:
"We saw no opening for the truth in Russia . . . nothing to encourage us to hope for any harvest in Italy or Turkey or Austria or Germany. . . . The Italians have been so long under the baneful influence of the Papacy that they, like the French, are rapidly turning to open infidelity . . . But Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and especially England, Ireland and Scotland are fields ready and waiting to be harvested."

I recall a photograph (Watchtower Reprints?) showing Russell and the group he was travelling with in Egypt.
It might even have been taken when they were visiting the pyramids.
I also recall that Rutherford was in the picture.
