31st Bestall Climbers Crevasse Edge Steep 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration by renowned British artist Alfred Bestall captures the raw beauty and danger of mountain climbing as depicted in 'The Crevasse,' created in 1927. The image transports us to a snow-covered mountain peak in the heart of the Alps during the winter month of December. The steep, icy cliff face looms ominously in the background, while the foreground is dominated by a group of intrepid climbers teetering precariously at the edge of a yawning crevasse. Their determined expressions and outstretched hands reveal their unwavering focus and resolve, as they carefully make their way across the treacherous expanse. The thin rope that tethers them to the mountain and each other is a stark reminder of the inherent risks they face in their pursuit of adventure and conquest. The muted, naturalistic colors and meticulous attention to detail in Bestall's illustration bring the harsh mountain environment to life, immersing the viewer in the thrill of the climb and the awe-inspiring majesty of the natural world." "This historical image, which dates back to August 31, 1927, is an important piece of mountaineering art and a testament to the enduring allure of the mountains and the human spirit that drives us to explore their heights. The illustration is part of the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical and contemporary images, and is a valuable addition to any collection focused on adventure, nature, or the history of mountain climbing.
