Over the course of the twentieth century, travel experienced an
unprecedented boom. As ocean liners broke speed records,
aerodynamic trains roared down tracks, and stylish boat-plane
clippers evolved into jumbo jets, travel transformed from a
cushioned journey of the elite into a convenient pastime for the
general public. With the mass production of automobiles, invention
of airplanes, freeways and motels, America led the wanderlust
phenomenon. With nearly 400 vintage print advertisements from the
Jim Heimann Collection, this book documents the exponential
expansion of American tourism, through the domestic and global,
exclusive and popular, exotic and standardized adventure. With an
introduction, decade-by-decade analysis, and an illustrated
timeline, rediscover the thrilling energy of this new age of
mobility in which Americans climbed aboard locomotives or ships,
jets or Greyhound buses to explore distant lands, or to see whole
new sides to their own country. About the series Bibliotheca
Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic
TASCHEN universe!
