In-4 (310 x 224 mm). Basane racinée, roulette en encadrement, dos lisse orné (Reliure de l'époque, probablement suisse).Coins légèrement frottés. 10 très belles planches rehaussées à l'aquarelle (sur 13), par Lory, Lafond ou Zehender, montant : lac de Brienz, chute de Giessbach, chute du Dorf et Alpbach, la vallée d'Oberhasli, le port de Fluelen, le lieu de naissance de Guillaume Tell, Staeg près de Twing Uri, Brounnen et le lac des Quatre Cantons, Schweiz, l'île de Schwanau. Une planche en noir reprend en miniature neuf des vues. Pour "servir d'itinéraire aux artistes et aux amateurs", un texte, attribué au Doyen Bridel, donne des indications touristiques. Remarques minéralogiques de Wyttenbach. "Je fis, l'an passé, avec Messieurs Lory et Lafond, deux paysagistes très habiles, une course dans quelques cantons de la Suisse. Le résultat de nos observations sur les mœurs et les usages des lieux où nous séjournâmes, aussi bien que sur les différentes beautés de la nature, est consigné dans ces pages" (Zehender).
