Journal of a tour in Switzerland and Italy, written by M Rayner, pupil of a boys' school., 1856.

 Item
Identifier: MS.6342

Scope and Contents

M Rayner was apparently a boy in the second of the three school parties, and the style of English and peculiarities of punctuation suggest that he was French or Swiss. The tour begins and ends at Bellerive. The journal is illustrated by a coloured plate showing the Great Seal of the Swiss Confederation and the cloaks worn by the officials of the different cantons (folio ii), by numerous postcards, and by a printed plan of the Alps (folio 49).
