EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the haunting aftermath of a fatal accident on Mont Blanc. The image showcases the immense scale and treacherous beauty of this iconic mountain, while also revealing the tragic fate that befell two individuals. The photograph depicts a descent into a crevasse, plunging 105 feet deep in search of the bodies of Herr Rothe and guide Michel Simond. The engraving, created in 1891, vividly portrays the origin of the avalanche that led to this devastating incident. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers faced by mountaineers who dare to conquer nature's formidable peaks. The retro-styled print exudes an air of history and culture, transporting us back to Victorian times when such engravings were highly valued for their illustrative technique. Its detailed craftsmanship invites us to reflect upon both human resilience and vulnerability in face of nature's might. As we gaze at this artwork from Liszt Collection, let us remember those who have lost their lives pursuing their passion for adventure. May it serve as a solemn tribute to all those who have perished on Mont Blanc's unforgiving slopes throughout history.
