Picture No 10991336
Date 1904
Description Sea-coast north of Viareggio, Italy
Details

NEAR the spot where Shelley's body was cremated, August 18, 1828. "The situation was well calculated for a poet's grave. In front was a magnificent extent of the blue and windless Mediterranean - on the other side, an almost boundless extent of sandy wilderness here and there interspersed in tufts of underwood, curved by the sea breeze... This view was bounded by an immense extent of the Italian Alps, which are here particularly picturesque for their volcanic and manifold appearances." - Medwin
