Résumé:

"As souvenirs become a recognized source for interpreting and appreciating the artistry of the past, this guide to one of Florida's least-known industries opens a new chapter in the study of the state's history and culture." "More than 500 color illustrations in this book showcase an array of travel treasures purchased by Florida's first tourists - primarily wealthy northerners - during the years 1890-1930, the golden age of Florida tourism, when souvenirs were works of art. Larry Roberts links the keepsakes to the state's history and provides expert insights into the artistic quality of the items, elevating them above the category of mere collectibles."--Jacket.
