Holidays and High Society The Golden Age of Travel by Lucinda Gosling, published by History Press in 2019.
In the nineteenth century, the phenomenon of 'going abroad' was born. Beautiful Mediterranean towns, the luxurious spas of Mittel-Europe and the golf courses of France became the playground of the idle wealthy. Until foreign travel became more accessible, the picturesque towns and smart hotels catered only to an elite mix of royalty, celebrities and high society. This was where the great and glamorous could relax, mingle, see and be seen - where rules could be broken and routines forgotten.
A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
