1891 Wood Engraving Switzerland Gorner Glacier Climber Glissade Mountain XGSB1 SAD1 Reproductive art by John ChesterThis is an original 1891 black and white in text wood engraving of a climber attempting to glissade down a steep mountain slope. It is supposed to be a controlled slide down the hill to expedite descent, but there are occasionally mishaps (as seen in the image). We believe that this scene may have occurred on the Gorner Glacier in the Swiss Alps. CONDITION This 120+ year old Item is rated Near Mint Very Fine. Light aging throughout. No creases. Minor
