About This Item
Glasgow: James MacLehose and Sons, 1904. First Edition. Octavo. 337p. index. Illustrated. When the author was encouraged to visit Switzerland in the month of May be his friend John Ruskin, he did so with the hope that others would see that was worth the pilgrimage. The author's earlier book of sonnets on Switzerland and Italy along with his work, The Revival of Decorative Arts at Lucerne show his deep understanding and rich communication of Switzerland's natural beauty in the Spring. Bound in blue cloth, spine lettering gilt. A very good copy with rubbing to edges.
