From Zermatt and the Matterhorn to the shores of Lake Maggiore and Como, these vintage maps come from Findlay Muirhead's Switzerland, Chamonix & the Italian Lakes in The Blue Guides series. The plates were issued between 1923 and 1930, co-published in London by Macmillan & Co. Ltd and in Paris by Librairie Hachette. Town plans and regional maps cover Geneva, Lucerne, Lausanne, Fribourg and Berne, along with the resorts of St Moritz, Davos, Pontresina, Arosa and Klosters, and the peaks include Monte Rosa, the Rinderhorn and the Weisshorn. Other sheets follow the Grand St Bernard and Brig-Simplon passes, while the Italian coverage takes in Varese, Locarno, Omegna, Chiavenna and Tirano.
