Bibliography- Abbey Travel 172. Edward Lear (1812-1888) a legendary artist of European views and ornithology and a writer and illustrator of humorous limericks and poems. Lear notes in the preface 'I have executed the whole of the Lithographic drawings from my own sketches, and have endeavoured to preserve a close fidelity to the Originals'. Queen Victoria, one of the subscribers, was so impressed with the work that she invited Lear to give her a series of twelve drawing lessons (ODNB). The first series is devoted to the Abruzzi provinces of the Kingdom of Naples, the second to the Papal States.
