Foreword.
Among the numerous holiday resorts which claim the attention of
the travelling public, the Isle of Wight will be found to possess
attractions of very varied character. It has often been the theme
of poets and the delight of artists. The student of art and the
amateur photographer can find subjects in variety, whatever may
be his peculiar line of study. The noble cliffs and bays for the
student of coast scenery; old mills and cottages, with trees and
streams, for the lover of sylvan beauty. The rugged grandeur of the
Landslip and Undercliff will furnish subjects that yield delight in
the interpretation of their romantic interest. The earnest student
of Geology will find enhanced interest in the fact that within
short distances many successive formations can be studied; the high
inclination of the strata bringing to the surface the different
formations. The gentle undulations of the land also furnish great
opportunities for pictorial expression. The Botanist may here find
an almost inexhaustible store of treasures. Wild flowers and ferns
abound in great variety.
To those who have never visited the Island, the accompanying
illustrations will unfold sufficient of its beauty to give some
idea of its resources.
