專家說明
Lear left London for a walking tour of Switzerland on August 1854. On 6 August he wrote to his sister Ann 'I had no idea really of the beauty of Switzerland - for I never was in the really fine parts, except in 1841 - when I came thro' by night ... The Lake of Thun is one of the most beautiful of all the Swiss Lakes; -such a wonderful pea-blue sea-green!'
Although he enjoyed his visit, Lear did not return to Switzerland until 1878, when to escape the summer heat of San Remo, he went to the mountains above Lake Como.
