This richly illustrated volume charts the travel heyday of 1869 to 1939. Bedecked with ephemera and precious turn-of-the-century photochroms, it follows six classic tours favored by Western adventurers, including traveler-writers Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Mark Twain. Featuring archival travel posters, guides, tickets, leaflets, brochures, menus, and luggage stickers, the book evokes all the romance, elegance, and the sheer sense of novelty that enthralled these golden-age passengers. Hardcover in protective carry-case, 616 pages.
