About this book
The Spell of Switzerland records a narrator's plans to spend some months in Switzerland, with the length of the stay left uncertain. The book is illustrated with photographs and original paintings by Woldemar Ritter. Professor Landoldt is described as having specimens that he intended to compare with the workmanship of the lacustrians of Neuchâtel, Bienne and Pfäffikersee.
The account reports that a yellow marble bas relief over a door was attributed to the sculptor Jean Goujon. The relief is described as representing two winged women, the Genius of Study and the Genius of War, with the City's escutcheon between them.
