Graphic Travel Ephemera from 1920's & 1930's

Japan

France

Austria, Germany, Hungary, Holland, Switzerland, Russia, Yugoslavia

Automotive

This collection has blown me away (hence such a lot of images posted here!). Some beautiful, some dynamic, some quirky and odd but all really graphic and all capturing the exciting essense of travel from the era.

"My basic passion is paper items such as travel brochures, airline time-tables, ocean liner time-tables, auto road maps, luggage labels,  advertising, and graphic design publications from the 1920s and 1930s, primarily in Europe but also Asia..."

All from the fantastic collection by David Levine at http://www.travelbrochuregraphics.com/

Pan-Am's Flight Cool: A vintage brand archive #panam

My first flight was on a Pan Am plane in the 1970's - the experience left a permanent mark on me and I still get butterflies when I stare at the classic round, blue logo and all the travel-based promise it encapsulates. I've collated an archive about Pan-Am from mainly the 50's to the 70's. It includes the designers favourite 'Pan Am's World' poster series, the amazing membership cards to Pan Am's First Moon flights Club from Robert Venditti's site (his dad was a member), lots of vintage illustrative adverts and the inclusion of the classic safety card and more...enjoy! (If you like PanAm then you'll like the Swissair post too: http://kathykavan.posterous.com/vintage-swissair-posters )
