Protestant communities high in the Alpine valleys fill prints from The Waldenses, William Beattie's illustrated work of 1838, which sets an account of the Waldensians beside views of Piedmont, Dauphiny and the Ban de la Roche. Bartlett's drawings show churches, schools, village streets and mountain approaches at Torre Pellice, Bobbio and around Pinerolo, and French Alpine subjects near Briançon, Queyras and Dormillouse. Scenes associated with Felix Neff record Protestant teaching and religious life, while passes and fortified towns mark the routes across the mountains. The Alsatian section reaches Fouday and Schirmeck.
