Description
Very scarce signed and numbered special edition of the 1995 exhibition catalogue A Chacun Sa Montagne, published for the 20th Alpine Art exhibition at the Musée Jenisch, Vevey, in collaboration with the Swiss Alpine Club. This copy is hand-numbered 46/50 and signed in ink on the half-title page (signature not firmly identified; please see close-up photos and judge for yourself).
This large softcover volume documents an important Swiss exhibition on twentieth-century mountain imagery, with essays (in French, with some translated texts) and numerous color illustrations. The cover design combines Ferdinand Hodler’s famous alpine landscape with an etching by Jean-Luc Manz, making it an attractive piece for collectors of Swiss art, alpine ephemera, or museum catalogues.

Please review all the photos carefully, as they are part of the description and show the exact book and ink signature you will receive. This is a genuinely uncommon signed, limited issue of an already hard-to-find Swiss exhibition catalogue, and only fifty copies were produced, making it a desirable addition to any alpine or Swiss art library.
