EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mur de la Cote: Conquering the Alpine Heights in the 19th Century". This photo print, created by artist George Baxter around 1855, transports us back to a time when the British elite sought both health and adventure in the majestic Alps. As winter blankets the landscape with its icy touch, a lone male figure stands proudly against a backdrop of towering mountains. His presence symbolizes the spirit of Alpinism that gripped this era. In an age where leisure pursuits were intertwined with exploration and conquest, men like him embarked on daring expeditions up treacherous slopes. Equipped with determination and guided by experienced mountaineers, they pushed themselves to conquer ever more challenging routes. The Mur de la Cote is part of a series depicting The Ascent of Mont Blanc - an iconic peak that became synonymous with alpine sports during this period. With vibrant colors capturing every detail, this oleograph offers a glimpse into their wintry world. Beyond mere recreation or sport, these intrepid climbers embraced nature's formidable forces as they scaled heights previously untouched by man. Their endeavors not only tested physical limits but also showcased human resilience and courage in face of adversity. Today, we can admire their audacity through prints like these - windows into history frozen in time. Let us marvel at their feats while appreciating how far mountaineering has come since those pioneering days amidst France's Haute Savoie region.
