Vintage Travel is a sumptuous, stylish gathering together of tourism posters from the end of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth century. During this period, 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. Vintage Travel includes gorgeous full-color posters and supporting text that provides fascinating insights into the social and cultural history.
