The Swiss Postal Motor Coach Tours, run by the Swiss PTT, had high standards of publicity for many years in the mid-twentieth century as can be seen in this series of annual map guide brochures from the 1930s. They show the distinctive yellow/cream touring coaches (usually built by Sauer) in abstract landscapes. I didn't know the artist "R" but thanks to DL (below) it has been confirmed as Bernard Reber. This is the 1936 edition.

Chapel Bridge, Water Tower and Mount Pilate - Lucerne's top landmarks all in a row. Taken in early morning light on my way to work. One of the oldest wooden bridges (first mentioned in 1367).
I know, Chapel Bridge is definitely the most often photographed subject in Switzerland, but a few people around flickr seem to like this view in early morning light.

Many railway companies issued profuse amounts of publicity to drum up trade and in the 1930s the Southern Railway of England got very competent at this. Along with the LNER, one of the other 'Big Four' railways, the standard of their publicity was high and they produced some lovely publications and artwork. This booklet, one of a series, was issued in 1938 as a guide to walking in the areas of north Devon served by the Southern. The stiff covers and pocket size was aimed at walkers and ramblers - whose eye would be caught by the colourful pasted on image by Audrey Weber. Weber did many works for the Southern and I like her work. There is very little iformation about this artist or her other works that I can find.
I am a Lonely Planet addict and I have the feeling that I can never have enough of their books...These are only the City Guides. Some of the places I haven't been to yet but I will soon :D.

Tales of Power
p. 15: “The average man seeks certainity in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to himself.”
...."Self-confidence entails knowing something for sure; humbleness entails being impeccable in one´s actions and feelings." - C.Castaneda
"Most people enjoy their summer meals served in the old woodshed here, despite the possible unpleasant childhood connotations." Ah, those were the days!
On SH 80 in Killingworth, Connecticut, the Country Squire Inn was in business until at least 2009/10, having originally opened in the 1940s. In fact, the restaurant was "resurrected" in 2009 (tinyurl.com/y9sbx3ve). But in 2014, the new owners of the restaurant auctioned off an assortment of antique furniture at the restaurant. According to the Shoreline Times (tinyurl.com/yc7p7uzt),
The Country Squire was built in 1794 as the home of Nathan Evarts...
As a storied restaurant and Inn, The Country Squire entertained innumerable notables. Hugh D. Auchincloss, stepfather of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy had standing reservations every Friday and Sunday evening as he commuted between Manhattan and Newport. Betty Grable, Sid Caesar, Mickey Rooney, Robert Stack, Kitty Carlisle, Patty Duke Astin, Celeste Holm and Rudolf Nureyev all lodged here. Henry Ford II named the quintessentially American touring car, The Country Squire Estate Wagon for the premises...
I have been unable to find much about the present status of the building itself. Anyone know?
The recipe featured is "Turkey Killingworth", which is sliced turkey placed over cooked broccoli and covered with a cheese sauce, served "piping hot from the broiler" in a pie tin.
1950 Ford probably not included. ;)

The Newtown Monuments consist of a large medieval cathedral, two monasteries and small church which date from 1206.
The descriptions that I have seen are a bit confusing in that most of them are different to a lesser or greater degree.
My current understanding is that the main building is the Church of St Peter and St Paul (sometimes called a cathedral). The smaller church in the east of the monastery is the parish church of Newtown Clonbun. This is the burial site of Lucas Dillon (c. 1530 – 1592), Attorney General for Ireland and Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and his first wife Jane Bathe. There is also a ’Tower House’ and a ‘Refectory’
The medieval cathedral [Cathedral and Priory Of Saints Peter and Paul] is situated in Newtown Cemetery. It was founded close to the temporal power of Trim Castle by the Norman Bishop Simon de Rochfort in c.1206 after his cathedral at Clonard was burned down. Only part of the original nave and chancel of this largest Gothic Church in Ireland survive. Part of the ruined Priory of Augustinian Canons, which were established to maintain the Cathedral, also survive.
Buried under the high alter of the cathedral are the remains of the founder Simon de Rochford (died 1224) and one of his successors, Bishop William Sherwood, who died in 1428.
The figure of the bishop now affixed to the wall of the cathedral was long trodden underfoot and was badly worn in places. The figure is commonly known as ‘king john's daughter' but is probably the figure of Simon de Rochford the founder of the cathedral.
In the parish church in Newtown-Clonbun stands the remains of the tomb of Sir Lucas Dillon and his wife Lade Jane Bathe, daughter of James Bathe of Athcarne and Drunmconrath. The recumbent figures of Sir Lucas in Renaissance armour and his wife in Elizabethian gown surmount the tomb. This tomb is known locally as the tomb of the jealous man and woman because the two figures do not touch each other at all. And also the sword of state separates the figures.

Many bus and coach operators issued publicity guides to 'sell' their network and this, from the mid-1920s, is typical. One thing was less common in that the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co Ltd. (whose magnificent title survived past the end of their tramways operation and into the 1950s!) were one of the few operators who built their own buses and coaches. The Bristol factory at Brislington would in fact, over the coming decades, churn out thousands of well-regarded vehicles that many other operators purchased, particularly in the nationalised years when Bristol had a 'captive' audience.
Anyhow, this guide shows a 'charabanc' on the Open Road, typical of the image of coach trip of the era. The BPC mentioned was the British Publicity Company who specialised in producing guides for corporate concerns.

Nestled in the heart of Osaka, Japan, the iconic Osaka Castle stands as a testament to the region's rich historical tapestry and architectural brilliance. Originally constructed in 1583 by the formidable warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Osaka Castle played a pivotal role during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, serving as a strategic military stronghold. The castle's architecture is an exquisite blend of traditional Japanese design and robust fortifications. The main tower, standing at an impressive 55 meters, is adorned with intricate golden decorations and features a distinctive green-tiled roof, a striking contrast to the pristine white walls. These walls, punctuated by small windows, not only add to the castle's aesthetic appeal but also served defensive purposes during times of conflict.
Surrounding the castle, the lush grounds are equally captivating, featuring meticulously maintained gardens and moats that once provided protection. The Nishinomaru Garden, with its 600 cherry trees, offers a particularly picturesque view during the cherry blossom season, drawing visitors from around the globe. Inside, Osaka Castle houses a museum that chronicles its storied past, showcasing a fascinating array of artifacts, dioramas, and historical documents. Each floor offers a unique glimpse into the castle's history and the era it represents, culminating in a panoramic view of Osaka from the top floor—a reward for those who climb the steep stairs.
Osaka Castle is not just a historical monument; it is a symbol of resilience and cultural heritage. Its restoration in the 20th century, following damage during various conflicts, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Japanese people. Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or a casual traveler, Osaka Castle offers a profound and enriching experience, encapsulating the essence of Japan's architectural and cultural evolution.

This is the time of year for dreaming and planning future adventures.
But to do so, it's necessary to climb a mountain of possibilites. This mountain is but one in my mountain range of adventure guides.
If you're only going to get one book about Oregon, I'd recommend Greg Vaughn's "Photographing Oregon". Sullivan's guide to Eastern Oregon is also quite good. James Davis' "The Northwest Nature Guide" will cater to your naturalist interests. Jolley's "Wildflowers of the Columbia Gorge" is the wildflower bible. If you're looking for a turnkey adventure year, "Oregon Nature Weekends" has an excellent list.
What are your favorite outdoors guides where you live?
