I just liked the look of this detail of a map of Regent's Park from 1859. Maps can be beautiful.

Travel ephemera: Art of the Luggage Label
"Welcome to my image stream and information resource devoted to the art of luggage labels and related travel ephemera. Luggage labels are fascinating bits of hotel history from the golden age of travel, roughly the 1900's to 1960's. During this time these labels were used by hotels as advertising and eagerly applied to steamer trunks, suitcases and all sorts of luggage by hotel staff, mainly bellhops."
