About the Gallery

To celebrate their shared passion for travel, Grand Circle Corporation Chairman and Vice Chairman Alan and Harriet Lewis have accumulated an extensive collection of vintage travel posters dating from the early 20th century up to World War II. They are now sharing their collection with the public through the Grand Circle Gallery.

In addition to vintage travel posters, the Gallery will feature the breathtaking photography of their late friend, the renowned Bradford Washburn, who also served as a founding Honorary Director of Grand Circle Foundation, their company’s charitable organization. The Director of Boston’s Museum of Science for more than 40 years, Mr. Washburn was also a skilled mountaineer and pioneering cartographer. His brilliant aerial photography captures the stunning beauty of some of the world’s most demanding mountains.

The Gallery will also include Alan and Harriet's black-and-white photography—some travel-related, like the vintage images of Europe photographed by George Daniell, and some reflective of times of historic world change, like the dramatic portrayals of the Civil Rights Movement captured by photographer and filmmaker Danny Lyon and photographs of the 1960s by Elliott Erwitt, including a portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy at her husband’s funeral in 1963.
