The Golden Age of Travel 2012 Engagement (calendar)

 (3 customer reviews)

Don't let that review below about this not being the real thing bother you.
It doesn't present itself to be reproductions of dusty old hundred year old posters.
This calendar is just plain gorgeous.
In two years it will be worth a fortune as a collector's item.
Just buy it. You will not be disappointed.

The illustrations in this calendar are absolutely stunning, and it is very nicely designed and constructed overall. If you like the image on the front, you'll like all the images inside--they have the same bold location text with sharp, engaging graphics of world travel locations.

HOWEVER, the paper is simply too glossy and thin to make this item practical as an engagement calendar. Anything you write on one page has its imprint showing on the following five or six pages, and if you use a gel pen, you'll need to wait about ten minutes for the ink to fully dry or it will smear everywhere. This calendar is far too nice for me not to use it, but if you like the pictures, you'll need to buy another calendar just for those because writing on the calendar pages will ruin them.

The product description is a little vague--probably not intentionally so--and you need to realize these are not authentic or reproductions of actual old-timey travel posters. They are newly-created, stylized interpretations of "The Golden Age." Pleasant enough to look at, but not as engaging as the real deal.
