HERBERT MATTER (1907-1984) ENGELBERG. 1936. 40x25 1/2 inches, 101 1/2x64 3/4 cm. C.J. Bucher, Luzern. Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. This image differs from the others in the series in that there is not one larger-than-life close-up image; rather, the immensity of the Alps, and man's ability to surmount natural obstacles are both presented via the visible Alpine peaks with the cable cars far above them, even passing through the clouds, all put into perspective by a diminutive couple at the bottom. Matter p. 104, Fotoplakate p. 122, Poster Progress p. 88.
