Luggage Labels And the Golden Age of Travel

The Golden Age of Travel occurred between 1890 and the outbreak of World War II. In this period wonderful hotels abounded, and the various modes of transport reached their glorious apogee. The labels which were placed on luggage by railroads, steamships or hotels beautifully capture the spirit of the era. Our boxed set contains a booklet by Harold Darling on this time and its labels, and forty facsimiles of remarkable labels, each die-cut and self-adhesive. They can be used for a near infinitude of decorative purposes, including the enrichment of one's luggage.
