Among the numerous holiday resorts which claim the attention ofthe travelling public, the Isle of Wight will be found to possessattractions of very varied character. It has often been the themeof poets and the delight of artists. The student of art and theamateur photographer can find subjects in variety, whatever maybe his peculiar line of study. The noble cliffs and bays for thestudent of coast scenery; old mills and cottages, with trees andstreams, for the lover of sylvan beauty. The rugged grandeur of theLandslip and Undercliff will furnish subjects that yield delight inthe interpretation of their romantic interest. The earnest studentof Geology will find enhanced interest in the fact that withinshort distances many successive formations can be studied; the highinclination of the strata bringing to the surface the differentformations. The gentle undulations of the land also furnish greatopportunities for pictorial expression. The Botanist may here findan almost inexhaustible store of treasures. Wild flowers and fernsabound in great variety.
