Detailed Product Description
Bologna, 1972, facsimile of London, 1828, 1st edition. Number 155 of 220 copies. 120 pp, 20 plates, some hand colored, maps, panoramas, comparative height charts. Quarto. One of the most important early Mont Blanc books. This book was the first to popularise Mont Blanc before the 'Golden Age' of mountaineering in the 1850s.
 
After the ascent of Mont Blanc by Saussure in 1787 many of the climbs were made by expeditions which resulted in published articles or privately printed monographs. This work is considered 'one of the finest of these narratives' (Cox). Auldjo made the 19th ascent of Mont Blanc, and the book sold well and was reprinted several times. It did much to popularize the new sport of Mountaineering. Bound in full red leather with gold decorated spine, New condition.
