 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. Being reproductions from
actual photographs they may be relied upon as being true to Nature.
There is great diversity in the scenery, and a holiday can be enjoyed
amid its beauties which can scarcely be surpassed. It may be truly
described as the Garden of England, and some of its scenes are here
presented in the hope that those who inspect its beauties as here
transcribed will be induced to visit and see it for themselves.
