Come away with me: Vintage Travel Posters
Everyone loves going on vacation. Being out of the office, enjoying new sites, eating yummy foods and of course the shopping!
During every trip I take I’m always on the look out for a cool trinket to bring home with me and remember the trip. Sometimes it’s an elephant to add to my collection or a vintage candlestick holder from a flea market in Florence.
Seeing this image from Design Sponge I was reminded of another way to remember your favorite locales….vintage travel posters!
Boston Public Library has a flickr set full of vintage travel posters that you are allowed to save onto your computer so print away!
Here are some favorites:
We went to Italy a couple of years ago so I think this would be a good one to add to my collection:
European Vacation:
Of course I love the elephant in this one:
I also found a site with free vintage travel posters from America.

Home Sweet Home: New York
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas:

I love how many different prints are available and at pennies!
I know one person that will be able to fill a gallery wall with them….Summer Lee! Congrats on winning the 3M give-away!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I have always loved those. good find.
How cool are these? And some you can download for free, wow!
These are great! I have a desk calendar from Anthro of vintage travel posters. xx
Love these!! Can you buy them??
That is a great idea! I always try to find something on my trips, too!
Oh I love these!!
Great idea! Now I just need to travel.
These ons are so much fun, I 've seen some great ones from time to time at Cost Plus…I love all the vintage travel posters like this!
Thanks so much for linking to my vintage travel posters page. I hope your visitors enjoy the posters!
These are great! I would like to find an Italy one also since that is where we went for our honeymoon.
Seriously, have I ever told you you post the best links? So getting some of these for my new apartment!
Fantastic! I'm a Boston gal and had no idea the BPL offered these posters. I've bookmarked the link and am thinking about ways to use them!
I love vintage travel posters! The only problem is, I can never decide which one to get. So excited these are free which makes my indecision a little more acceptable!
That Las Vegas one is so splendid! It reminds me of the Pixar short film they played right before Toy Story 3 (if you've seen it yet).
