No drop-curtain, at any theatre I have seen, was ever so richly imagined, with misty tops and shadowy clefts and frowning cliffs and gloomy valleys and long, plunging cataracts, as the actual landscape of Madeira, when we drew nearer and nearer to it, at the close of a tearful afternoon of mid-January. The scenery of drop-curtains is often very boldly beautiful, but here Nature, if she had taken a hint from art, had certainly bettered her instruction. During the waits between acts at the theatre, while studying the magnificent painting beyond the trouble of the orchestra, I have been most impressed by the splendid variety which the artist had got into his picture, where the spacious frame lent itself to his passion for saying everything; but I remembered his thronging fancies as meagre and scanty in the presence of the stupendous reality before me.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Why? Because... By propertius Why read the memories of an English speaking tourist, albeit a most literate one, about his European sojourn taken over 100 years ago? It gives you an idea of the expectations and prejudices of a time when travel was taken seriously. As anyone who has read this type of book will tell you, the author whether intentionally or not, reveals his and his times expectations and interpretations of what he sees. This book does more so than most. And as "the past is prologue," so much more so then here.What it must of have been like for thee traveler to Europe who was born when "Italy" did not exist but the Papal States and the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily did. What did he see in monuments which resonated history and not modern tourism. Of course there has been tourism in Italy for two thousand years but it has always mutated to reflect the aspirations of the tourists of that day.Why four stars and not five, a mundane complaint, no TOC. Nevertheless, a worthy addition to any library.
