EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in the early 1910s, a photographer sets up his equipment along the banks of the River Vispa, or Viege, in the Matter Valley near Zermatt, Switzerland. The valley, located in the Valais Canton of southern Switzerland, is renowned for its breathtaking alpine scenery and the majestic presence of Mont Cervin, or the Matterhorn. The photographer, with a determined look on his face, carefully positions his tripod and adjusts the settings on his camera. The river, a raging torrent of crystal-clear water, flows swiftly past him, its powerful current a stark contrast to the serene and tranquil scene he aims to capture. The Mont Cervin, a towering alpine peak, looms in the background, its snow-capped summit reaching for the sky. The Matter Valley, with its lush green meadows and picturesque villages, is a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike. The Mont Cervin, an iconic symbol of the Swiss Alps, has long been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and adventurers. The photographer's dedication to capturing the perfect image of this spectacular mountain landscape reflects the enduring allure of the Alps and the beauty of the natural world. This photograph, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasure of capturing a moment in time with a camera was a cherished pursuit. The image is a testament to the power of photography to evoke emotion and transport us to far-off places, even as we stand in the present moment, gazing at the print.
