ORIGINAL ANTIQUE CHARNAUX FRERES 'REFORMATION WALL' GENEVA SWITZERLAND ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPH

This is just a great original piece. For those that have followed my store for a while, I have been actively trying to buy and sell much more photography.  It is an art form that I believe is still very underappreciated and undervalued.  I have a great collection of it myself and often am happy to hang the works in my home until someone purchases them.  This is one I think I will be sad to see go.  This is a wonderful original photograph by important 19th and 20th Century photographers, Charnaux Freres & Cie.  Charnaux was actually the first group to photograph the summit of Mont Blanc as well as the Matterhorn and other Swiss Alps mountains.  They are really one of the more important early European photographers and there documentation of Switzerland is in museums throughout Europe.  I bought this photograph without knowing what the subject was.  It wasnt difficult to do the research to figure out what this location is.  This is a wonderful view of the important Reformation Wall or "International Monument to Reformation" in Geneva Switzerland.  The wall was inaugurated in 1909 and I am guessing this dates to right around that exact time.  A wonderful large albumen photograph measuring 12 x 16 inches.  Charnaux markings lower right corner.  Photograph is outstanding as created condition.  Really a beautiful scarce original large photograph.  Original period wood frame is complimentary and ready to hang.  Frame measures 13 3/4 x 17 1/2 inches.  Do your own research on this photograph.  I could not find another example of this photograph.  If you collect good Swiss photographs look for the Werlhi AG Swiss Alps photo I am offering.  Happy to combine shipping to help you save.
