Edward Whymper, a 25-year-old adventurer, captured the rugged beauty of the Alps in his Alpine memoir and first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1842. His book, still fresh as when he wrote it, inspired the birth of mountain climbing and has recorded over 500 deaths since Whymper reached its peak. Whymper was an engraver and enthusiastically embraced the art of photography, taking a portable camera and plates up the Matterhorn in 1874 and 1883 to turn photographs into engravings for a new edition of his book and as lantern slides with talks. These photographs are added to Whymper's original engravings and Alpine advice, and many appear in print for the first time.
