Peaks & Glaciers 2019, p. 49Dated 1939 and inscribed with its location, this silver gelatin print by Emanuel Gyger (1886–1951) shows the Col Tracuit and Zinal Rothorn, Valais. Published in Peaks & Glaciers 2019, p. 49.
Gyger's photography documents the high Valaisan Alps at a moment when mountaineering photography was maturing as its own documentary and artistic tradition, distinct from the earlier commercial work of photographers such as Adolphe Braun.
Collectors of twentieth-century Alpine mountaineering photography and Valais/Zinal Rothorn views will find this a well-documented, precisely dated example.
