As with the French editions, Switzerland was the first series after The Rhine to appear in English. By 1863, when Switzerland 1 appeared, alpine tourism had already started, mainly in the form of climbing at this point (Edward Whymper made his famous climb of the Matterhorn/Cervin in 1865), but soon skiing would also become popular.
