In honor of my upcoming move, today we're featuring some Victorian travel inspired finds!

I love this collage by BananaStrudel because it makes you want to put on your Sunday best and do a little sight seeing. Check out the original listing because I love her description of this one!

When I think of Victorian travel, the first thing that comes to mind is the great old suitcases plastered with stamps and memorabilia that traversed the world with their owners. This traveling salesman pocketbook from the aptly named TheSteampunktrunk encapsulates that nostalgic feeling perfectly, right down to the brass hardware.

If there was one thing that fascinated and delighted Victorians, it was getting from Point A to Point B in as ridiculous a fashion as possible. Be it hot air balloons, those new-fangled "horseless carriages", or the contraption the above gentleman is riding in this key-chain from BarkerBell.
