The act of traveling to a foreign place has the unique ability to open the mind and expand the life experience of the traveller in a way that no other activity can quite replicate— leaving us with a wholly altered state of being and a complexified presence that works its way into our very identity. Such a wealth of evolution then follows us throughout our lives, influencing the ways in which we live, work, act and enjoy ourselves, that it is again awakened with fresh vigor on merely coming across an object or picture associated with the travel, prompting a memory that floods with a wave of nostalgia. Vintage travel posters hit precisely this mark, seemingly pulling at every heartstring available— and with more than just the referenced location as magnetic agent, the artistic style employed in this sector of design art inhabits a territory of powerful allure.
