Appropriately for The Travelling Bookbinder, who’s mission is creative adventures, our June book review is: Artists’ Journeys That Shaped Our World.

By presenting thirty stories, alongside maps, we get to explore, back and forth in time, how iconic artists have been inspired by their surroundings.

Illustrating, with text and image, how “the journey itself is a stepping stone to going somewhere else artistically,” this book is a visual atlas (for there are maps too!)

Elborough makes the point that both artists and map makers find a way to represent “three dimensional reality on a flat surface.”

Turning these pages is like going around the world in eighty days, through centuries.
