Detailed Product Description
London, 1950. 16 pages, plus 6 newspaper articles that have been neatly tipped in. Second pamphlet, 25 pages, with several full page photographs. Bound in two home-made pamphlets, with numerous commentaries and articles mostly from the London Times. The newspaper articles have not yellowed or deteriorated, which makes one ask, did the Times supply articles for posterity on a better quality paper than English newspapers were able to afford in 1950? The British empire was having a bad century if we take 1950 as the midpoint. This is a nice collection of material on the first ascent and tragic descent on the Matterhorn in July 14, 1865. I know that the incident, with its juxtaposition of triumph and tragedy, success and failure, life and death, has a fascination among many people today, a century and half later. If you have a section on the Matterhorn among your mountaineering literature, these items would add some interest and visual value, as these material would not be easily duplicated today. They obviously look their age, which even our in focus images cannot truly emulate.
