During those idle moments between trips, reminiscing about past adventures and childhood vacations can help scratch that travel itch. We decided to go back even further in the timeline of travel photos, back to when sheep grazed in Central Park and the Hollywood Sign had a few extra letters. These vintage photos of the world’s most famous landmarks show how, even though times have changed (then: stagecoaches; now: selfie sticks), the magnificence of these buildings, bridges, and monuments has not faded over the years. We hope you enjoy your trip down distant-memory lane.
