A printed label attached to the first print, has two lists: various locations along the shore: A-L, and mountain peeks: 1-20. Ouchy, the port to Lausanne, is depicted in detail showing the remaining square tower of a 12th century chateau, the jetty where three sail boats are anchored, and the Hotel de L'Ancre, where Byron stayed while writing The Prisoner of Chillon in 1816. The other locations are depicted as seen from afar.
