Globe.—“Especially noteworthy for the lightness and delicacy of the artist’s touch, and the felicity of her colouring as appropriate to the scenery it represents. The text is a capable accompaniment, supplying much information of a useful and interesting character.”
Standard.—“‘The Italian Lakes’ have, perhaps, never been more superbly depicted in all the richness of glowing colour than in the illustrations to this attractive fine art volume. We take up the book, and in a moment London and all its fogs are forgotten, and we seem to escape, as by magic, from the madding crowd, to one of the fairest regions in the world.... Mr. Bagot has quick eyes for the picturesque, and writes with admirable restraint in the romantic mood.”
Evening Standard.—“Mr. Bagot reveals that skill in description that makes his work at once fascinating and distinctive.... Miss Du Cane’s tastefully reproduced water-colours are among the most pleasing of any in the whole series. They reveal strength and delicacy, and have the great merit of giving one a true notion of the actual and normal colour of the places.”
Aberdeen Journal.—“Miss Du Cane’s water-colours are most charming. She has caught perfectly the peaceful spirit of the beautiful scenes she represents. She revels in the flowers and the brightness and gaiety of it all.... The letterpress by Mr. Bagot is very good—quite the kind of thing that is wanted in the books of this series.”
World.—“Mr. Bagot’s descriptions will give the reader who has never seen this lovely part of Europe a just and vivid idea of its beauties, while Miss Du Cane’s work does the same for him by means of another and a beautiful medium. Her pictures are charming, and the reproduction would seem to be perfect.”
Outlook.—“A good example of the series. Miss Du Cane’s work has atmosphere and grace, and the reproduction is as good as it can be in the present stage of the art. Mr. Bagot also is a discriminating and useful guide.... As a companion for a visit to the lakes, and a memento of it afterwards, nothing could be better than this book.”
