Timeless Journey: Vintage Photos of Iconic World Monuments

Timeless Journey: Vintage Photos of Iconic World Monuments

We love the stunning vintage travel photographs on Pinterest. So many opportunities to get lost in all corners and eras of the world and on the web.

Case in point: A few quick Pinterest clicks just led to an all-morning affair on Flickr: The Commons, where we spent hours sifting through the archive of images of gentleman riding camels and women carrying parasols in front of our favorite monuments. 

For your procrastinating pleasure: our favorite vintage travel photographs from the The Commons archives. Sit back, relax, and enjoy armchair traveling to iconic tourist sites all over the world.
