PREFACE.

The following notes were made during three summertours in Brittany, in two of which the Author was accompaniedby the Artist.

Breton Folk is not a description of the antiquities ofBrittany, nor even a book of folk-lore. It is a series ofsketches of a “black-and-white country” under its summeraspect; of a sombre land shrouded with white clouds,peopled with peasants in dark costumes, wide white collarsand caps, black and white cattle and magpies.

ivThe illustrations, one hundred and seventy in number,have been drawn by the Artist from sketches made on thespot, and, apart from their artistic qualities, have the curiousmerit of truth. They have been engraved with the utmostcare by Mr. J. D. Cooper.
