How we spent the summer, or, A "Voyage en zigzag" in Switzerland and Tyrol with some members of the Alpine Club : from the sketch book of one of the party [i.e. Elizabeth Tuckett]

Tuckett, Elizabeth · 1864 · London : Longman, Green, Roberts and Green · 29 pictures

A sketchbook travel record by Elizabeth Tuckett, published in London by Longman, Green, Roberts and Green in 1864, describing a summer tour of Switzerland and Tyrol with members of the Alpine Club. The pen drawings are loose, informal sketches of walkers, guides, and mountain scenery, with some captions in handwriting. A designer might take their quick, unfussy line and casual vignette layouts as models for relaxed travel or outdoor-leisure graphics.
