These classic photographs are evidence of the "relics" of civilization that travel has discovered: through the cultural customs of a Southeast Asian country, or an afternoon tea under the majestic colonnade on the now-destroyed island of Rhodes... They tell the story of humanity's journey around the world through the lens of modern-day travel. There, every storyteller is a traveler, and every traveler can become a storyteller.
