Présentation de l'éditeur :
This book is a transcription of a recently discovered manuscript of a Grand Tour taken by an American engineer, Frederick Hubbard, in the years 1855 through 1857. In Part I (this volume) he begins in England, then travels to Madeira, Gibraltar, Spain, Sicily, Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Malta. The trip to Italy includes an ascent of Vesuvius and a visit to Pompeii and the environs of Naples. The ascent of Mount Etna to witness the glorious sunrise is the zenith of his trip to Sicily. Within this work, the American engineer recorded his opinions concerning the art, religion, architecture, and social behaviour of the various cultures he encountered. The commentary on art and architecture will be found to be quite unorthodox by many. His views predate the popular writings of John Ruskin, who drew attention to the early Renaissance. He eschews the artistic instructions of guide-books. The generous annotation should be an aid to the initiate and an amusement to the adept of the travel-essay genre. Contemporary commercial engravings tipped into the manuscript and sketches by the author illustrate the work. An additional section of selected albumin prints of Rome and Naples has been included.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Frederick Hubbard was born in Hamilton, New York in 1817. He was of Puritan stock, his farther, Hon. Thomas Hill Hubbard, having relocated from New Haven Connecticut. His childhood was spent in Utica, N.Y. He was graduated from Hamilton College in 1836 and worked as Supt. of Construction for various sections of the New York and Erie Railroad. In 1855, at the age of 38, he went on a Grand Tour of Europe and the East. He retired in 1870 and moved to New York City where he devoted himself to classical and scientific studies until his death in 1895.
