A view of Sion, in the Canton of Valais.

Keying left for Britain in February and, despite being damaged in a storm, made the crossing in 21 days, a short period even for the American packet-ships. This portrait was published as a souvenir of the visit of the Keying to London, where it was visited by Queen Victoria. See Ref 43257.
