Special Collections



It’s that time of year again – almost six months since our last break from the office, and our pale skin and frayed nerves are longing for a holiday. Why not take time out to consider the trips of yesteryear as illustrated in our early printed books.

A trip to Cairo perhaps ...


... or follow in the footsteps of the Grant Tour aristocrats to Italy
 



... or simply take time out to boost that seashell collection ...

Petrefacta Germaniæ  (Dusselforz : Arns & Co., 1826-1833)
