Description
Douglas W. Freshfield (1845–1934) was a British lawyer and mountaineer who served as president of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Alpine Club. Freshfield asked Vittorio Sella to contribute photographs to this book on his explorations of the Caucasus. Freshfield revered Sella’s photographs, writing, “Sella has inherited his uncle’s love of the mountains and the thoroughness he displayed in whatever he undertook. His photographic work above the snow level stands unrivalled for quality and extent.”
