Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Telemaco Signorini, Giuseppe De Nittis and Domenico Induno. Two impoverished English gentlemen buy a motor car and hire themselves out as guides, and the passengers they collect on the road through France and Italy are not what they seem either. One of the Williamsons' most popular motoring romances, built on the formula they had set with The Lightning Conductor. Fifty-nine plates spanning 1851 to 1925, with work by Edvard Munch and Telemaco Signorini, follow the road's own world of carts, quarries and labouring men.
