A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The reader may miss, in the following pages, both illustrations and mention of places often associated with the Riviera, although, strictly speaking, they do not come within its limits. La Riviera is the Italian name specially given to the sea littoral between the Gulf of Spezia and the mouth of the Var. West of that river is known in France as La Coted Azur. To have included the well-known places lying between Nice and Marseilles would have added to the bulk of this volume, and may be left to a future one, should a desire for it be expressed. But apart from this consideration, I felt more attracted to the Itahan than to the French side of this favoured coast. Nature has been as lavish in her gifts to the one as to the other; but in mans attempts to subdue Nature to his present requirements La Coted Azur has lost more of its charm than the less sophisticated Italian Riviera. Whether even this one volume supplies a want I will not attempt to prove, judging that my publishers know more than I do what the public does want. My concern, as a painter, is that it wants so few pictures, and is so easily satisfied with cheap reproductions. Then why not give us more reproductions and say less about them? the critic may ask, should he be unaware that reproduction, by any colour process, is still much more costly than words. And if excuse be wanting for so many words, I will again quote Dantes lines on my title page: Amor mi mosse Che mi fa parlare. For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh is as good an Eng Ush rendering as I can find. It is, however, poor fun speaking unless one secures a listener; and, should I be fortunate enough to find one, I will first speak of the Riviera di Levante that portion east of Genoa; and if he or she will follow me so far, I will devote the second part of this book to La Riviera di About the Publisher
