Around the World in 80 Days

The Around the World in Eighty Days Journal Collection

This officially licensed British Library journal collection transforms specific literary works and archival artefacts into beautifully crafted contemporary stationery. Each design begins with a documented source from the Library’s collection and explores a different dimension of the Victorian age of travel—from railways, steamships and global routes to fashion, domestic rituals and illustrated travel scenes.

These are more than notebooks. They are portable cultural objects: new interpretations of the stories and artefacts that helped generations imagine a wider world.
