Getting there – by foot, balloon, steam, car

WE ALL LIKE TO TRAVEL, AND THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF DOING THIS. Here is a selection of ephemera showing the various ways we can get between two places – from hot air balloon to steam ship. The ephemera is, we think, arranged from simplest to most complex ways of getting around. But we are happy to enter into discussions if you think this is not so.
