Summit of the Pic du Midi d'Osseau, Pyrenees, 1854. Creator: M. Jackson
Summit of the Pic du Midi d'Osseau, Pyrenees, 1854. Mountains in France. Advancing still further, we begin to see glimpses of the Pic du Pau de Pau, rising in slopes of snow above shaggy forests of elm, oak, and pine, whitened with the drift of the avalanches; and then a high ridge of precipice, edged with a bank of snow, from which continually huge masses of snow fell in thunder down to the slope below. These, however, were but the outworks of the pic, which, amid a sea of minor pics, all clad in eternal snow, the cloven peaks of the Pic de Pau rose high above them - pouring down continual avalanches - which no living thing has ever touched, save, mayhap, the talons of the shrieking eagle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Summit of the Pic du Midi d'Osseau, Pyrenees, 1854' by M. Jackson, transports us back to the 19th century and the breathtaking beauty of the Pyrenees Mountains in France. The photograph, originally published in the 'Illustrated London News,' depicts the awe-inspiring summit of Pic du Midi d'Osseau, where snow-capped peaks tower above shaggy forests of elm, oak, and pine. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a ridge of precipice, adorned with a bank of snow, from which massive avalanches continually cascade down to the slope below. The outskirts of Pic du Pau de Pau can be seen in the distance, their cloven peaks rising majestically above the sea of minor pics, all clad in eternal snow. The continual avalanches, which no living thing has ever touched, save perhaps the talons of the shrieking eagle, add an element of excitement and danger to the serene landscape. The misty, misty conditions that envelop the mountains add to the otherworldly quality of the image, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century landscape photography. This evocative print, from the collection of The Print Collector, is a testament to the power and allure of nature, and serves as a reminder of the wonders that lie hidden in the annals of history.
