[SWITZERLAND] - [Anonymous ENGLISH Writer] A typescript travel diary recording a holiday in
[SWITZERLAND]. - [E.E. SCHLATTER (illustrator), and others]
An anonymous 53pp. travel dairy recording a two-week holiday, leaving from Hornchurch, Essex, England, travelling via London, Dover, a cross-Channel Steamer, train to Paris and on to Lausanne and Clarens. Then travelling aroun Switzerland, eventually returning from Lucerne, via Bern, Amiens, Boulogne to Folkestone and home. [England:] dated 4th April 1914. Small Quarto (8 3/4 x 6 5/8in; 222 x 168mm). 31 postcards (including 4 RPPC), 3 original snap-shot photographs, 9 pen and ink sketch maps, 3 pen and ink sketches, a tipped in colored lithographed brochure cover designed by E.E. Schlauter, and half-tone and colored images cut from other publications. (Some edges a little tattered). Contemporary green card covers (I leaf loosely inserted).
An attractive record of an Englishman's holdiay abroad - full of the characteristic Edwardian confidence of a member of the Empire on which the sun never set, written up just two months before the assasination in Sarajevo and four months before the outbreak of the First World War. Did the writer of this diary serve? - Probably; Did he die? - Possibly.
