With studio stamp on verso, this silver gelatin print by Julius Burch (1903–1997) shows the Jungfrau seen from Wengen, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.

Burch was among the twentieth-century photographers who continued the tradition established by nineteenth-century pioneers such as Adolphe Braun of documenting the grandeur of the Swiss Alps for a wide audience. His silver gelatin prints capture the crisp clarity and dramatic scale of peaks such as the Jungfrau, one of the most recognisable summits of the Bernese Oberland.

Collectors of twentieth-century Alpine photography, Bernese Oberland views, and vintage silver gelatin prints will find this a well-preserved example of mid-century mountain photography, bridging the gap between the pioneering carbon prints of the nineteenth century and the modern era of Alpine imagery.
