Tourism Through the Ages
A map of the world created by Hendrik Hondius in 1630
"[T]ravel seems to me a profitable exercise. The mind is continually exercised in observing new and unknown things; and I know no better school, as I have often said, for forming one's life, than to set before it constantly the diversity of so many other lives, ideas, and customs, and to make it taste such a perpetual variety of forms of our nature." (Montaigne, Michel, ESSAYS)
