A ready-made vintage travel junk journal kit of 18 printable pieces from the golden age of the Grand Tour, c. 1890–1910: richly coloured photochrom souvenir views of Paris, Venice, Lucerne and Cairo, plus two 1890s American railway and trolley travel posters. The photochroms were sold to travellers as souvenir prints, so they look like old postcards and keepsakes and work together as one travel set. Print them for travel journals, junk journals, scrapbook pages, postcards, collage, tags and wanderlust wall art.
