The Golden Age of Travel, 1880-1939 by Alexis Gregory
An illustrated book that covers the lost age of luxurious travel between 1850 and 1940, when Cunard luxury liners plied the Atlantic and luxury trains linked Europe with the near and Far East - the Golden Arrow, le Train Bleu, the Orient Express, and the Nord Express. Using period photography, paintings and descriptions of the people, places and means of transport, and through histories of such great pioneers as George Pullman, Thomas Cook, Cesar Ritz, Samuel Cunard and Louis Vuitton, the book provides a panorama of the wealthy and elegant international society of the time.| SKU | Unavailable |
