Experience the birth of 'going abroad' in the nineteenth century with Holidays and High Society. Explore stunning Mediterranean towns, luxurious spas in Mittel-Europe, and breathtaking golf courses in France. This was the playground for the wealthy elites, including royalty, celebrities, and high society, where they could relax, socialize, and escape their mundane routines. Through striking visuals from the Mary Evans Picture Library and contributions from Galleria L’IMAGE, Lucinda Gosling takes us on a journey to some of the most coveted and exclusive holiday destinations in Europe, such as Monte Carlo, Maidenhead, Biarritz, and St Moritz. Be transported to a world of glitz, glamour, and indulgence as we delve into the lives of privileged travelers and their extravagant vacations. Packed with vintage travel posters, brochures, and fashion spreads, Holidays and High Society captures the essence of a golden age and offers a perfect escape for those who love the past.
