1865: the Golden Age of Mountaineering

From the Wetterhorn in 1854 to the Matterhorn in 1865, the Alps were conquered in a decade. 1865: the Golden Age of Mountaineering, by Gilles Modica, documents this great time in the history of alpinism. With 350 photographs and illustrations, it is co-published in English and French by Vertebrate Publishing and Éditions Paulsen.
