This plate comes from a private collection that belonged to a photographer collaborating with the Maison de la Bonne Presse.

The snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland
Above the fir trees and rocks, the majestic silhouette of the snow-capped mountains dominates the scene. The light, filtered by a sheet of low clouds, gives the icy wall an almost unreal glow. The contrast between the dark foreground and the bright peaks accentuates the grandeur and serenity of this alpine landscape.
