What an event...

Nice collection of old pictures. The first ascent of Mont Blanc was a great event.

Thanks. I also liked your photos at sunset and sunrise of Mont Blanc which I attached to my article which you should read (even partially as it is a bit long) as I have added some further photos which are not in this album.
Note particularly the amazing photos of the Bisson brothers. They were the first with Nadar to forget the Daguerreotype static pose to take instant photos. Their Mont Blanc photos were ordered by Napoleon III. Themselves did twice the ascent of Mont Blanc and those are the first ever photos about alpinism.
