- Curator's comments
- A complete set of the series 'Costumes Suisses' is also in the Lloyd collection, see P&D, 1958,0712.3035 (1-55). The date of the five views (no. 31-35) added to the present example is not known. They probably appeared somewhere between 1815 and 1825, but certainly not later than 1830.
