Summary
| Description |
My Picture of the Matterhorn English: Captioned My Picture of the Matterhorn in A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain and annotated: "I had the very unusual luck to catch one little momentary glimpse of the Matterhorn wholly unencumbered by clouds. I leveled my photographic apparatus at it without the loss of an instant, and should have got an elegant picture if my donkey had not interfered. It was my purpose to draw this photograph all by myself for my book, but was obliged to put the mountain part of it into the hands of the professional artist because I found I could not do landscape well." It is based on The Matterhorn from near the Summit of the Theodule Pass published in Edward Wymper's Scrambles amongst the Alps, 1871 |
