The Riviera Of The Corniche Road
Sir Frederick Treves
Published by Cassell and Company: London 1926

" The Riviera of the Corniche Road (1926) by Sir Frederick Treves, published by Cassell and Company, London, is an evocative travel narrative that captures the allure of France's famed Mediterranean coastline during the interwar years. Treves, celebrated for his earlier works on travel and observation, journeys along the Corniche Roads that connect the Riviera's enchanting towns and villages—from the Italian border to Marseilles—describing the dramatic coastal scenery, the interplay of light and sea, and the cultural tapestry that defines the region. His writing balances lyrical description with sharp social insight, offering a glimpse into a world of timeless beauty poised between elegance and change.

Illustrated with fine plates and photographs, the book reflects both the glamour and tranquillity of the Riviera before mass tourism transformed it. Treves evokes a sense of romantic discovery, portraying the landscape as a place where history, art, and natural splendour converge. This volume would appeal to collectors of early 20th-century travel literature, admirers of Mediterranean history, and readers drawn to classic depictions of the French coast."
