Queen Victoria in Switzerland

In this book the author incorporates the hitherto unpublished journal written by Queen Victoria during her stay in Switzerland when she was accompanied by her daughter Princess Louise. Interwoven with the journal are the author's descriptions of the places as they were then and are now and a historical background. Enhancing the text are the Queen's and Princess Louise's own watercolours and sketches and many contemporary prints and engravings. Included too are facsimile reproductions of the handwritten letters of Princess Louise copying the Queen's journal and other documents.
