Description: Stuttgart and Leipzig, Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1905. 4to (29.2 x 21.0 cm). xi, 258 pp.; 35 plates of which 14 are nicely tinted photographic plates after water-colours, mounted on black paper, all by Edoardo Rubino and 11 photographs (most by Vittorio Sella and a few by G. Rey) and ten photographic plates from drawings also by Edoardo Rubino. Furthermore there are 13 images of drawings in the text also by Edoardo Rubino [complete]. Original cloth with bevelled edges, gilt mounted title piece on front board and gilt-lettered spine label. Mottled olive endpapers. Top edge gilt. = Absolutely complete and very good copy of the classic in alpine literature. The title page mentions that there are 37 drawings and 11 photographs: this is correct, but it is a matter of how you count. We have counted everything, including a full-page image as "a plate" and the drawings in the text separately. In any case, our copy is in near mint condition and complete.
