Penguin Cerise Travel - celebrating Penguin Books' early 'Travel & Adventure' series

Penguin Book's early 'Travel & Adventure' books were rarely illustrated due to financial and wartime constraints. The few that were featured highly atmospheric, if somewhat poorly reproduced, photographs, which very much capture visually the essence of that which the authors attempted to describe in words.

"Riley cutting Watkins' hair" (133: "Watkins' Last Expedition")

"Sandstorm at Mersa Matruh" (198: "Amateur Adventure")

"Acrobatic dancers of Man" (491: "Africa Dances")

"A shrine in Persia" (405: "Passenger to Teheran")

"Norbert Casteret" (846: "Ten Years Under the Earth")
