When travel became fabulous

Take a look at how travel journalism began in Europe: It started with the spread of mass-produced maps, books, and images like the ones here in our online slide show.

The first European mass-printed travel map, the first secular illustrations of the New World, and other images shown in this slide show are from a collection of 60 original works on view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., through mid-September, titled "Fabulous Journeys and Faraway Places: Travels on Paper, 1450-1700."

Dear Sean,

It was a greatful surprise for me when I read your last post. I'm from Brazil and I'm a journalism student. My conclusion paper at college is going to be about Travel Journalism. And I'm having a hard time to find references about the beginning of this area.
Do you have any other further information or tip about it?
Thank for your attention... and tip!
Regards,
Julia
