The Los Angeles Public Library is exhibiting a collection of vintage travel posters from the golden age of travel posters, the 1920s and 1930s.

Description: “The 1920’s and 1930’s ushered in an unprecedented era of travel to exotic and romantic destinations. And nowhere was this more clearly expressed than in the travel posters of that time.”

These posters make me want to have lived back then and traveled on stylish ships and trains - just not the Titanic! (Actually, the Titanic sank in 1912, just before the golden age of travel posters was ushered in.)
