Containing 69 full-page Illustrations in Colour

“Such pictures interpret the romantic appeal of the scenery in a manner which is next to impossible to any mere pen other than that of Ruskin. But the book, we make haste to add, is fascinating all the way through, for Mr. Bagot has quick eyes for the picturesque, and writes with admirable restraint in the romantic mood.”—Standard.

“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.”—The World.
