Légende

The Tourist in Switzerland, 1881. 'English tourists in the Alpine region of Switzerland, Savoy, and the Tyrol, are sometimes observed, if they be young and strong, to seem rather intent upon exhibiting their own pedestrian and climbing prowess, than upon cultivating a true sense of Nature's sublimity and beauty amidst the mountain ranges of Central Europe. Those who prefer to loiter by the wayside, or hold converse with the pastoral tenants of a lonely Chalet, in such imperfect French or German speeches either party may command, are frequently affected with a disposition to indulge in "chaff," which is not at all likely to engage the goodwill of the natives, but which is to be compensated, no doubt, by the gift of a franc or silber groschen at parting, with some mutual loss of self-respect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
