i've got travel on the brain

(photo from library of congress flickr photostream)

after seeing this photo on pret a voyager's flickr photo stream, i can't stop thinking about traveling today.

and then i clicked over to grain edit (which i recently discovered through book by its cover, julia rothman's fantastic blog), and saw this image. all i can say is wow. there is a whole world of travel-related midcentury gorgeousness that i didn't even know existed!

check out more on the art of the luggage label flickr photostream and the midcentury modern sticker- sticker, label, + stamp club flickr group.

Wow, I love that travel poster. Though the popular '30s Travel Posters can be fun, I love the hip jetset graphics of the '60s. And oddly enough, my boyfriend flew with Sebena to-and-from Africa. -X
