Throughout Europe, since at least medieval times, in France, Italy and Spain, annually pilgrims would go to extreme sacrifices when they physically embarked across scared routes to visit their favorite places of pilgrimage. Of course the most favorite route being the route to Saint James, the Santiago de Compostela. These routes might cross other famous religious sites of significance such as Rocomodor, or Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. A Victorian version being Lourdes.

Having visited Lourdes in France, I think that even the non believer would struggle not to be moved by the commitment of those souls who have made the journey.

Of course, during the early 19th century painting pictures to add to Friendship Albums was a popular pastime as most people of a certain social standing could paint well (no radio, TV distractions back then).

The album was created by Charles Dickens lover, Maria Beadnell. Charles Dickens fell in love with Ms Beadnell in 1830 when he was a mere lad of 18, but as is the way with young love, Maria's parents did not approve of the young journalist and the relationship floundered after a time. However, Dickens's did write four original poems in Maria's album, there were also other additions to the album in prose and artwork by Maria's other friends and male suitors. Now whether this artwork is by Ms Beadnell, or another friend of hers is a matter of conjecture as we have no sure way of validating this, but it is an interesting discovery, nonetheless.
