Since the dawn of history, territorial behaviours giving rise to a hierarchy of power have been associated with the place, space. Hence the custom of making portraits on the background of the identifiable elements of the urban structure or concrete buildings. One of the first such representations were Egyptian reliefs, portraits with a suitably chosen background. Also the eighteenth and nineteenth century fashion for travelling had prestigious overtones, which was associated with an increase of image importance of education—travelling was aimed at increasing prestige in the eyes of the environment, and in the future—of the posterity. Such understanding of travelling is the basis for today's behaviours observed in social media.
