The first edition, in a handsome Bayntun binding, of an illustrated travelogue through France and Italy, accompanied by numerous chromolithograph plates by watercolour artist Alexander Henry Hallam Murray (1854-1934), younger brother of the volume's publisher, John Murray IV. The geographical sketches, penned by Henry Woodd Nevinson (1856 – 1941) and Montgomery Carmichael (1857–1936), catalogue a journey from Dieppe to the South, avoiding Paris, which continues along the Italian Riviera into Tuscany with excursions to Verona and Venice.
