Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Country Life, Vol. 1 On a fine spring morning in the year 1829, a man of about fifty years of age was riding on horseback along a mountainous road which leads to a large country-town not far from the Grande-Chartreuse. This town is the chief place in a populous canton circumscribed by a long valley. A torrent with a rocky bed, frequently dry, filled at this time by the melting of the snows, waters this valley compressed between two parallel mountains, which command in every direction the peaks of Savoy and Dauphiny. Although there is a general resemblance among the landscapes enclosed between the chain of the two Mauriennes, the canton through which the stranger was riding presents undulations of the ground and accidents of light and shadow which may be vainly sought for elsewhere. Sometimes the valley, suddenly widening, offers to the eye an irregular carpet of that verdure which the constant irrigation due to the mountains preserves so fresh and so pleasant to view at all seasons.
