MOUNTAIN INN, (Cyanotype)

Travelling was a real problem for Grand Tourers such as Goethe. The roads were primitive and an overnight stay in an Inn was beset by risks from poor food and sanitation together with bed bugs and brigands.

“....the wretched inns are a daily nuisance, and there is much to put up with.”

Foligno October 1786
