Each title in this series is thematically assembled and designed by the artist, the covers featuring a linked painting specially created for each title from Tom Phillips’s signature work, A Humument. Fantasy Travel shows people sitting proudly and playfully in studio mock-ups of aeroplanes, cars, speedboats and hot air balloons. Such modes of transport were beyond the dreams of the average person in the early twentieth century but the photographic studios allowed them to indulge wild flights of fancy and take away the resulting postcards.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 190mmItem Length: 175mmItem Weight: 418gBook Series: Photo Postcards from the Tom Phillips ArchiveRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
