British Records Association Collection. Vol. XXX. Journal of travels, mostly in N. Italy, of a young Englishwoman residing in Italy with her sister and parents and identified in a recent note on f. ii as Katharine Harris; 1847-1850. Includes descriptions of many works of art and reports on the European revolutions of 1848.
The attribution to Katharine Harris is doubtful. The author refers on a number of occasions to a Count Maggiolini, who eventually proposes to the author's sister, Adelaide. The marriage is recorded in the Annual Register for 1850, and Adelaide is listed as the daughter of Kerrison Harvey, Esq. His entry in the baronetage lists three daughters: Adelaide Eliza, Laura Anna, and Emma. Emma seems to have been born in 1838, and so was too young to be the author of the diary. Laura Anna, born in 1830, is a much more likely candidate for author. It is possible that Katharine Harvey was a former owner, rather than the author.
Paper; ff. ii+240. Quarto. Purple half-calf binding.
