Notes of a Tourist: Swiss folk, 1883. 'Lauterbrunnen; Rosenlaui; Wengern Alp; Andermatt; S. Gottardo; Altorf (The Belle of the Village); Martigny; La Flegêre; Tête noire; S. Bernard; Amsteg; Zermatt...[Sketches of] the less modernised remnants of various nationalities still extant in places remote from the capitals and the main lines of commercial traffic...the peasantry...may be found to retain some quaint peculiarities of costume and dialect...Switzerland...presents much that is curiously primitive in the aspect of some portions of its rustic inhabitants. But this is only in the Alpine pastoral districts...There are not only the romantic cliffs and gorges, along the precipitous sides of the narrow winding valley...but the fantastic illusion seems to be aided by pretty oddities of dress among the female peasantry, and a queer originality even in the attire of the sterner sex, which our Artist has well hit off at the top of his page. The effect of these minor accessories - if we are to concede that little human creatures become of subordinate importance in the presence of big masses of limestone or granite schist - is equally remarked in other Alpine routes of travel'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
