"The Lake of Geneva" - painted by W. Collingwood Smith - from the Exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, 1856. Engraving of a painting. 'Mr. Collingwood Smith had Byron before him when he sought to represent this celebrated water: "Clear, placid, Leman! thy contrasted lake With the wide world I dwelt in is a thing Which warns me with its stillness to forsake Earth's troubled waters for a purer spring. Once I loved Torn ocean's roar; but thy soft murmuring Sounds sweet, as if a sister's voice reproved, That I with stern delight should once have been so moved"
