A charming guide to the coach trips operated by the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co Ltd. from their Cheltenham and Gloucester bases - the artwork and 'feel' is mid-1930s I'd say - as ever no dates are given. It was one of a regular series of guides issued by Bristol - the vast majority of British bus and coach operators at the time issued similar guides. The booklet extols the fact that the company not only operated by manufactured their buses and coaches, a less common activity for bus operators and indeed Bristol vehicles were highly regarded and purchased by many other operators.

China. Guangxi.
Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County.
Chengyang is a cluster of eight villages: the area consists of Ma'An, Ping Tan, Ping Zhai, Yan Zhai, Dong Zhai, Ping Pu, Ji Chang and Da Zhai.
Guizhou, Hunan, and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are home to China’s Dong ethnic minority. Composed of 2,514,000 people, the Dong Minority is a vibrant and exciting culture. Visitors to the region will enjoy discovering this ancient way of life and the many Dong traditions alive in villages today.
UNESCO has placed 18 Dong villages on the tentative World Heritagesite list for China. Of particular interest are the region’s fengyu('wind and rain'), or covered bridges, and drum towers. Each of these structures is reflective of traditional Dong life.
The LMS Railway, in common with the other railway companies, were enthusiastic promoters of travel opportunities in their areas and issued many booklets and pamphlets. This is one of the less common LMS ones covering the "Bronte Country" situated in the West Riding of Yorkshire and served by the Calder Valley line and the now preserved Keighley and Worth Valley branch. The booklet also stretches the 'Country" north into Lunesdale and south to Derbyshire. The valley scene is by J W Broadrick - an artist who appears to have produced postcards for the Photocrom Company who printed this guide for the LMSR.
The (formerly) Turkish Bath
This strange polychrome building in the neo-Byzantine style once housed the town's Turkish baths. Lit by horseshoe-shaped windows, surmounted by a kind of minaret crowned by a dome, this pleasant and, to say the least, unusual edifice now houses the remarkable Svetlin-Rusev Art Gallery thx to travelguide.michelin.com/europe/bulgaria/pleven-province/...
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.

DeLust is one of those ever modernizing places that exist for a long time (in this case since 2009). I finally added it to the travelguide of the passionate pixels discord.gg/cTWHbhUjBP
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
