A travel and mountaineering classic describing the Alps featuring [70] Captioned tissue-guarded color plates.'The illustrations seem to us almost the most successful specimens of colour- printing we have met with.' -The Spectator, 1904.Background Information:Sir Martin Conway is artist as well as traveler, and the book is full of pictures of chance impressions caught on the mountains, of which we can only say that their fidelity is as remarkable as their intrinsic beauty. [The Spectator 1904]Taking a detour from his more typical works recounting expeditions and his various books about art history, Conway details everything about the Alps, including the joy of the snow, the beauty of the glaciers, how the mountains were made, the intimacy of the passes, and even the mood of the mountains. Arthur David McCormick FRGS was a notable British illustrator and painter of landscapes, historical scenes, naval subjects, and genre scenes.
