The Pyrenees in 1895, from Biarritz's fishing harbour to the observatory on the Pic du Midi, are pictured in these prints by Varichon-Lamazouère, whose name appears in the photographic credits of Album National France Algérie, Colonies, published in Paris by L. Boulanger. The plates show Pau's château, riverside and squares, the pilgrimage basilica at Lourdes and spa towns such as Cauterets, along with street scenes at Sauveterre and Argelès. Higher up, the cirque and rocky landscape of Gavarnie and the Pic du Midi observatory contrast with the valleys and bridges below, and the Haute-Garonne plates include Saint-Béat and the lake near Luchon.
