Plantin travelled a lot, to Paris, where he had a bookstore and
lace trade, to Leiden where he had a second business, to Frankfurt
for the buchmesse, ... He was on his way almost half of the year.
He was an experienced traveller. How did people travel in a time
without motorways, GPS, smartphone or trip advisor? Plantin had
tables available that calculated how long the trajectories lasted.
Unfortunately, he did not keep track of where he slept, ate, and
how much he spent. Fortunately, there are other contemporaries,
such as Durer and Montaigne who did take extensive notes during
their travels. In the wake of Plantin, we send young photographers
on different journeys with various means of transport. How do
travel distances and travel times differ from journeys in the 16th
century?
