Alpine Memories (1899)

Alpine Memories is a book written by Emile Javelle and published in 1899. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences in the Alps, specifically in the French Alps. Javelle was a mountaineer and a skilled photographer, and his book is a combination of his personal reflections on the beauty and challenges of the Alps, as well as a collection of his photographs of the region. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of the Alps, such as the glaciers, the flora and fauna, and the local people and culture. Javelle's writing is descriptive and poetic, and he captures the majesty and grandeur of the mountains with vivid detail. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early mountaineering and a celebration of the natural wonders of the Alps.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
