Important album photographique ancien rassemblant 104 tirages originaux réalisés entre environ 1890 et 1910, documentant un vaste périple à travers l’Europe du Nord, l’Europe méditerranéenne, le Proche-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord. L’ensemble présente une remarquable diversité de paysages de montagne et de scènes pittoresques : sommets alpins, routes sinueuses, torrents, lacs, villes d’altitude, stations thermales, ports, villages isolés, scènes rurales ou pastorales.

Cet ensemble rare constitue un précieux témoignage iconographique sur la représentation des paysages de montagne à la charnière des XIXe et XXe siècles, en Europe comme au Levant. Dimensions de l'album : 44,8 x 31 cm. Dimensions des tirages : diverses. État : Reliure très usagée. Photographies collées recto-verso.
