Detailed Product Description
London, 1913, 3rd UK printing. 336 pp, 35 plates and 13 illustrations in the text, 2 are photos.  TEG. Royal Octavo. Bound in its original green cloth covered boards, with gold lettering on the spine and front cover. The green cloth is in excellent condition, with no fading or darkening, and just the slightest wear on the corners. The interior is clean and bright, no foxing, no writing (except a few pencilled letters of code in my handwriting from when we first sold this copy thirty years ago.) 

This massive Victorian era book on the Matterhorn make a very nice shelf-mate for a copy of Whymper's Scrambles Amongst The Alps, or his more concise The Ascent of the Matterhorn. 

The principal work on the early history of the Matterhorn. Includes chapters on the efforts of Tyndall, Whymper and others, and concludes with Rey's own ascents by the Zmutt and Furggen ridges.  Guido Rey was a wealthy Italian climber who knew and loved it well, and covers every face of the mountain and ridge, with histories and diagrams of many attempts both failed and successful. 

Guido Rey was an Italian mountaineer who specialised in Alpine ascents. He later became a fine and noted art photographer and examples of his work now reside in major collections including the Getty Museum in Los Angeles

This book is large and heavy, so we will request extra postage for Media Mail, Priority Mail or International Mail.
