Book: The Alps 1900 (Taschen)

A coffee table book by Sabine Arque & Agnes Couzy

Images of a bygone era. When mountaineers were the intrepid few, and widely considered completely mad. 
Back when stories of high Alpine peaks and vast "cathedral-like" glaciers were just becoming mainstream across the cities of Europe, resulting in early tourism and train rides to the area to step foot among these godlike rock formations.
