Glaciers, gorges and high valleys around Gavarnie and the Vignemale dominate the Pyrenean photographs credited to Meys, published by Librairie Larousse around 1900 in La France Géographie Illustrée. They record the country around Gavarnie, Cauterets, Vignemale and Mont Perdu: the séracs of the Gabiétou and the glacier beneath Pique Longue show the ice, and the wooded valleys of the Bastan, Marcadau and Jéret the approaches, while the Pont Napoléon at Saint-Sauveur and the ruins of Beaucens add landmarks. A smaller northern group shows Bergues, a farm near Boulogne and a cross-Channel steamer setting out.
