Issue 190, Autumn 2020

For those readers who have had their travel plans curtailed this year, we bring you ephemeral exploration in the form of  Issue № 190 of The Ephemerist — our Maps & Travel Issue. So many Members have been inspired by this topic that we have been able to produce a bumper issue that has taken us to Europe by early flying machine, across the Atlantic on The Great Eastern, to Italy for a Grand Tour, and to contemporary Japan. Bon voyage ! The Editor
