Book Reference:
*Jay Arenski, Simon and Michael Daniels, SWISS CARVINGS: THE ART of the Black Forest 1820-1940. Easthampton, MA: Antique Collectors Club, 2005, p. 151.
Arenski quotes Swiss Poet Heinrich Federer, who said in his memoirs, "Woodcarving brought riches to the village [of Brienz]. It became all the fashion and no Englishman left the Bernese Highlands without having seen the Giessbach, having eaten a fat roasted eel and having bought a Brienz woodcarving." Arenski goes on to say, "Thus, as the tourist industry flourished and thrived, so did the carvers, selling their wares to the well-heeled visitors."
This fashion had been set in motion by Queen Victoria's visit to the area in April 1868, and by her subsequent inspiration to build a Swiss chalet at Osborne House and fill it with Black Forest Swiss carvings (Arenski et al., p. 13-14).
