EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the tragic events that unfolded on August 28th, in the treacherous terrain of Zermatt, Switzerland. Titled "Mountaineering Accidents, the Felik Joch" this print immortalizes the fateful day when Messers Johnson and Hayman lost their lives. The image transports us to a breathtaking landscape dominated by towering peaks such as Gorner Grat, Castor, Pollux, Lyskamm, and Breithorn. These majestic mountains serve as both an awe-inspiring backdrop and a reminder of the dangers inherent in mountaineering. In this scene from 19th-century Europe, we witness two brave souls attempting to conquer nature's formidable challenges. The Swiss Alps have long been renowned for their unforgiving beauty; however, it was here that tragedy struck these intrepid climbers. As we gaze upon this engraving with its intricate details and delicate lines etched onto paper over a century ago, we are reminded of the risks adventurers face when pushing boundaries. This artwork serves as a poignant tribute to those who dare to explore uncharted territories but also acts as a cautionary tale about respecting nature's power. Through this historical piece captured for The Graphic newspaper on September 23rd in 1876, we gain insight into both the allure and peril of mountaineering. It stands as a testament to human ambition while reminding us that even amidst stunning landscapes like Zermatt's Felik Joch peak – where dreams can be realized
