Glacier of Bossons (Vally of Chamouni.)
W.H Bartlett / S. Lacey
1835
Does anyone have an idea of what it’s worth? Thanks.

Interesting print of a glacier in the Alps. In the 17th century, bishops were summoned there to exercise demons from the glacier.

"In August 1820, an avalanche killed three Chamonix guides of the expedition of Dr Joseph Hamel, a Russian naturalist. The guides were lost after they were swept into a crevasse following the party's 1,200-foot fall in an avalanche."

That was not too long before this print was published. Didn't find their bodies till 1861.

We don't discuss values here. Your piece is nicely framed. Your pictures are not very clear. You'd need an expert to determine how old your print is.

You can easily search and see comparable pieces for sale.
