LOUIS VUITTON - FRANCISCA MATTéOLI GEBUNDEN

A beautifully illustrated journey through the history of travel—and traveling in style—from one
of the world's preeminent fashion brands The mid-19th and early 20th centuries heralded new
means of transport and equipment and  with them  new and original ways of exploring the world.
Transatlantic liners  automobiles  long-haul airplanes  zeppelins  and express trains unfurled
new horizons and changed travel itself into an adventure. Distant lands were no longer solely
accessible to aristocrats  explorers  and adventurers. Instead  the world opened up to new
groups of people eager to circumvent the globe. And for many of these new globetrotters 
traveling was synonymous with Louis Vuitton  the French label whose iconic and functional
luggage trunks could be found on nearly every boat  plane  car  and train around the world. In
this beautiful book  author Francisca Mattéoli recounts 50 tales of thrilling travel undertaken
in every possible mode of transit  from the hot air balloon to the space shuttle  each lavishly
illustrated with more than 300 historical photographs and ephemera from Louis Vuitton's
official archives. Louis Vuitton: Extraordinary Voyages is a journey all its own—an evocative
and transporting account of the most surprising and transformative trips taken since the 19th
century.
