EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Snowdon from Gwynant" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Captured by Francis Sydney Smythe, a renowned mountaineer and photographer, this image showcases the majestic beauty of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. The composition transports us to Gwynant Valley, where we witness the grandeur of nature at its finest. The towering peaks of Snowdon dominate the frame, their rugged slopes contrasting with the serene lake nestled below. It is a scene that evokes both awe and tranquility. As we delve deeper into this historic photograph, we learn that it was originally published as an illustration for Smythe's book "Mountains in Colour". The gravure printing technique used adds depth and texture to every detail captured by his lens. This image not only celebrates the natural wonders found in Wales but also pays homage to mountaineering as a daring pursuit. It invites us to imagine ourselves among those brave climbers who dared conquer these formidable heights. Preserved within private collections for decades, this print now resurfaces thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its historical significance allows us to appreciate how our world has changed over time while reminding us of nature's enduring allure.
