Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique historical exploration into the evolution of luggage and travel practices from ancient times to the 20th century. Beginning with the simple baggage methods of the Celts, the book traces the development of luggage as various civilizations emerged and interacted across the globe. Ancient civilizations such as the Hebrews, Phoenicians, and Greeks used chests, trunks, and satchels made of wood, leather, and other locally available materials. The Romans, building on these traditions, constructed elaborate and secure chests for transporting their wealth. As civilizations advanced, the book also examines the changing modes of transportation that influenced the design of luggage, from animal-drawn carts to chariots and ships. Through stunning illustrations and detailed descriptions, this book offers a comprehensive and visually engaging journey through the history of travel and the objects that accompanied travelers on their journeys.
