Vintage Travel is a sumptuous, stylish gathering together of tourism posters from the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century. During this, the travel poster's heyday, many graphic and fine artists devoted their skills to producing images that would entice the work-weary (and often war-weary) public to go on vacation. Produced for a range of commercial organizations, including vehicle manufacturers, shipping lines, railway companies and airlines, these posters chart changing patterns of tourism, as well as changes in society, art, architecture and fashion. Text provides fascinating insights into the social and cultural history of the 20th century. Perfect as a gift.
