From Louis Vuitton: "Gaston-Louis Vuitton (1883-1970), grandson of Louis, booklover, traveller and collector has, throughout his life, put to- gether a unique collection of 3,000 hotel labels which are today kept in the House archives. Stuck onto trunks and luggage, these labels admittedly had an advertising objective but also created the desire to travel the world, as well as providing information on the journeys and detours made by the owner of said trunk. Some would read into the way the labels were stuck onto the luggage a code allowing hotel staff to communicate with each other and to indicate the value of the customer in terms of tips. In this way, there is said to have been a secret language of hotel labels; bellboys and porters labelled the traveller both literally and figuratively: « very generous », « bad « beginner not used to travelling » or even « unpleasant leech », if we are to believe a well-informed newspaper article from that period. Louis Vuitton publishes 30 postcards reproducing 30 hotel labels from its private collection. Presented in an elegant boxed set, each postcard equally evokes the art of travel and the great ho- tels of the world, from the Plazza Athénée in Paris to the Astor House in Shanghai."
