German description: Zur Erinnerung an ihre gemeinsame Italien-Reise 1839/40 schufen die Komponistin Fanny Hensel und ihr Ehemann, der preussische Hofmaler Wilhelm Hensel, ein Album, in dem Fanny zunachst auf verschiedenfarbigen Papieren 18 eigene Kompositionen notierte, die ihr Mann jeweils mit einer Vignette schmuckte. Musikstucke und Zeichnungen beziehen sich auf einzelne Reisestationen und geben so deren Verlauf wieder. Durch die Kombination von Bild und Musik entstand ein einzigartiges kunstlerisches Dokument, das innerhalb der Erinnerungsbucher zu Italien-Reisen im 19. Jahrhundert beispiellos ist. Entsprechend den faksimilierten Seiten wird hier mit Auszugen aus Tagebuchern und Briefen der Reiseverlauf dargestellt und die Reisebedingungen im 19. Jahrhundert beschrieben. Der Band wird durch die italienischen Kompositionen Fanny Hensels und Reproduktionen aus einem venezianischen Skizzenbuch Wilhelm Hensels erganzt.
