URL: http://www.lapl.org/virgal/travel/

Description:
"The 1920's and 1930's ushered in an unprecedented era of travel to exotic and romantic destinations. And nowhere was this more clearly expressed than in the travel posters of that time. The Los Angeles Public Library's collection of travel posters perfectly captures this era. With this exhibition, the Library shares its bounty with the public for the first time." Includes images of almost four-dozen posters. From the Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL).
