Blanc Climbers Glace Mont Tourists

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this vintage image of intrepid climbers making their ascent up the icy slopes of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak, as seen from the Mer de Glace glacier. The photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, captures the spirit of adventure and exploration that drew tourists from around the world to the French Alps during the Grand Tour era. The climbers, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are making their way up the glacier, using ropes and ice axes for support. In the foreground, a tour guide holds a lantern, illuminating the path for the group. The serene beauty of the Mer de Glace glacier, with its shimmering ice formations and crystal-clear reflections, provides a stunning backdrop to the scene. This photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection, which spans the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian and Edwardian travel and tourism. The images in the collection capture the spirit of adventure and exploration that drove people to travel to distant lands and experience new cultures and landscapes. The climbers in this photograph embody the spirit of adventure and determination that drew tourists to the Alps during this era. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural wonders for future generations to enjoy. Today, the Mer de Glace glacier continues to attract visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at its beauty and to experience the thrill of adventure in the heart of the French Alps.
