Part of the officially licensed Around the World in Eighty Days: The Victorian Age of Travel journal collection, the On the Road Notebook is inspired by Jules Verne’s novel and Victorian travel imagery preserved in the British Library.

Phileas Fogg’s journey unfolds through changing routes, landscapes and encounters. Drawing on the spirit of Verne’s adventure and illustrated travel scenes from Abroad, the design celebrates movement, curiosity and the experience of discovering the wider world.

Made with specially selected 100gsm writing paper, this compact notebook is ideal for recording journeys, observations and new ideas. It offers museum shops, bookstores and travel retailers a giftable product with authentic literary and archival provenance.
