Luggage Labels & Travel Posters became popular in the late nineteenth century to show where the well-traveled tourist has been. They also served as advertisements for exotic places, luxurious accommodations & glamorous methods of transportation. They soon developed into an art form & are sought after by collectors.These stencils are in the style of Vintage Luggage Labels & Travel Posters. Use them to decorate an old sea trunk or simply paint them for framing and decoration. These are cut & paint stencils. Most cut & paint stencils are complete with only one stencil & leave you with a silhouette image. These designs each have more than one stencil (called overlays) & they leave you with a complete picture. This book contains 15 different designs & each has 5 overlays (except New York which has 6).My goal was to create a project that would be easy enough to complete in a minimal amount of time & yet leave you with an art piece only lacking of your individual touches.

"Show me your luggage and I'll tell you who you are," proclaimed a 1920s Louis Vuitton slogan. World Tour takes readers back to a time when travel was a true adventure, when elegant passengers embarked on grand tours aboard ocean liners, took flight in the first airplanes, rode the Orient Express, journeyed to exotic locales, and stayed in one luxurious hotel after another. Throughout his life, the famous trunk maker and inveterate traveler Gaston-Louis Vuitton amassed a collection of over 3,000 hotel publicity stickers and labels, which globetrotters proudly affixed to their luggage. Spanning the 1920s to the 1950s, this book features more than 900 labels, a wealth of period photographs, and vintage postcards, all from around the globe, including the favorite destinations and pursuits of cosmopolitan travelers: seaside stays on the French Riviera, skiing in Chamonix and Zermatt, cultural tours of Athens and Mexico, beach vacations in Honolulu and Capri, and more. Praise for World Tour "Guaranteed to trigger wanderlust." --The New York Times Book Review

Technological marvels such as railroads, ocean liners, and airplanes helped create an explosion in pleasure travel during the early 20th century. At the same time, poster art — with its dynamic images and bold letters — inspired travelers to see the world. Loaded with first-class fun, this coloring book is on the travel itinerary with thirty full-page images of glamorous and luxurious vacation spots. Based on authentic posters and labels of the period, the dramatically rendered signs advertise the sunny beaches of France and Italy, the excitement of Grand Prix racing in Monaco, winter sports in the French Alps, the marvelous sights of European capitals, and other scenic areas.

- An homage to the most sensual city on earth, illustrated with vintage photographs, prints, and ephemera - Available in English for the first time This love letter in photographs to the unique beauty and mystery of Venice is an evocative compilation of vintage photographs, prints, and ephemera. It is a tactile ode to the sensuality of the city, filled to the brim with all manner of Venetian memorabilia: 19th century photographs, engravings, hand-colored magic lantern slides, vintage postcards, old luggage labels, keys from long-lost luxury hotels, golden ducats from the 18th century, Carnival ball invitations. With gilt-edged pages and antique Venetian lettering, it is not a travel or walking guide, but an atmospheric pilgrimage that pays homage to this ever-fascinating city. Serge Simonat's engaging commentary on Venetian history and culture introduces each subject with affection and insight. "Every day, a nervous traveler visiting the City of Doges for the first time asks the best way to get to their hotel. 'The shortest or the most beautiful?', I once heard the concierge at Hotel Des Bains ask. The tourist who opted for the most beautiful route is still wandering around the city. This is a unique photobook in which to wander and lose oneself." - Serge Simonart
