Bisson Brothers (Louis-Auguste and Auguste-Rosalin Bisson), The crevasse (climbing the Mont-Blanc), 1861 (Source: Bibliothèque nationale de France) One of the most impressive photos I’ve ever seen. Not only for its breathtaking beauty, but also for the heroic of the authors, the 19th-century photographers Bisson Brothers. To take three photographs of the ascent of Mont Blanc, they had to use 25 carriers to set up the darkroom, plates and materials. The year was 1861. -- source link
