From postcards and paintings to photography and film, tourism and
visual culture have a long-standing history of mutual entanglement.
For centuries art has inspired many an intrepid traveller, and
tourism provides an insatiable market for indigenous art,
'authentic' or otherwise.
This book explores the complex association between tourism and
visual culture throughout history and across cultures. How has
tourism been linked to images of colonial expansion? Why are we so
intrigued by 'lost' places, such as Tutankhamun's tomb or Machu
Picchu, South America's lost city of the Incas? What is the
relationship between art, tourism and landscape preference? What
role did commercial tourist photographers play in the imagination
of Victorian Britain? Drawing upon examples from across the globe,
this exciting new contribution to a popular subject illustrates how
tourism and visual culture intersect with one another and in the
process become contested ground.
