"The luggage label evolved in the latter part of the 19th century and was born out of the hey-day of world travel – a period when travel was the exclusive realm of the wealthy and the privileged. The industrial revolution, advances in government, technology, intellectual and religious skepticism, as well as the rise of the middle-classes transformed the art of travel and made it accessible to a new traveling class. During this time, travel was predominantly for leisure and the great ships and trains reigned supreme. The luggage labels identified a traveling class that would survive until the Second World War. "
ahhhhh, delicious.
