Rey, Guido (introduction By Edmondo De AMICIS) — The Matterhorn

New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1907. Hardbound. Yellowish brown cloth with applied leather label to spine. T.e.g. 336 pp with 14 coloured plates and 23 pen-and-ink drawings by Edoardo Rubino and 11 photographs. An early and engaging account of earlier attempts to ascend the beast, and the author's own experiences. Good overall, exlibrary copy with plate, pocket and small letters at base of spine, leather label is faded. All plates present, but some have worked loose, resulting in chipping and loss the their extremities (but no image loss) No stamps to plates, inner front hinge could use tightening .
