EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen print, captured by Auguste-Rosalie Bisson in 1861, transports us back to a time when mountaineering was still an untamed pursuit. The photograph showcases a group of intrepid climbers ascending the majestic Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak. Bisson's mastery lies not only in his technical prowess but also in his ability to convey the sheer scale and ruggedness of the alpine landscape. Against a backdrop of snow-covered peaks and glaciers, these daring explorers navigate their way through treacherous crevasses with unwavering determination. The image captures both the beauty and harshness of nature as it envelops these climbers. The cold weather is palpable; one can almost feel the biting wind that whips across their faces. Their resilience is evident as they conquer this formidable challenge step by step. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bisson's collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of how far mountaineering has come since those early days. Today, modern equipment and techniques have made scaling mountains more accessible than ever before. However, there remains something awe-inspiring about witnessing these pioneers tackling such extreme conditions with minimal resources. This photograph serves as a testament to human perseverance and our unyielding desire to explore even the most inhospitable
