EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fatal mountaineering accident that occurred in the Swiss Alps during the early 20th century. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist, depicts a tragic event that unfolded on the Tour Salliere. Three adventurous French students embarked on a perilous ascent without guides, only to meet their untimely demise as they fell an astonishing 500 meters. The image serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers and risks associated with alpinism. It showcases the foolhardiness and recklessness of these climbers who dared to challenge nature's might without proper guidance or precautions. The treacherous snow-covered mountains stand tall in the background, emphasizing both their beauty and deadly potential. Published in Le Petit Journal on August 10th, 1913, this illustration evokes profound sadness and highlights the fragility of human life when faced with nature's unforgiving forces. It serves as a cautionary tale for future adventurers about respecting the power of these majestic peaks. As we gaze upon this haunting image from our private collection, let us remember those brave souls who lost their lives pursuing their passion for mountaineering. May it serve as a poignant reminder to approach such endeavors with utmost care and respect for Mother Nature's unpredictable temperament.
