The Grand tour is a lively and entertaining account of the origins and history of the tour, the experiences of those rich, adventurous young travellers who embarked upon it, of the Europe of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as seen through their eyes-- its customs and people, as well as its art and architecture. The Grand Tour is extensively illustrated with pictures researched from museums and collections throughout the world.
