If you want to visit Amelie-les-Bains or Bali and are light on travel funds, you might consider the travel posters offered here, courtesy of the Los Angeles Public Library. Recently, they embarked on a digitization project that included these very wonderful historic travel posters. All told, there are 89 posters in this collection and they document everywhere from Boston, England to the Antilles. Visitors can zoom in close for a better look and the details on each work are quite exquisite. It's a reminder of a different era of travel and persons with an interest in graphic design, material culture, tourism, and other fields will find much to enjoy here.
