From the Dent du Midi to the Garden of the Gods, the prints of Edward Whymper travel across mountains, harbours and railway country. The examples here include Hammerfest harbour, the Shasta Railway near McCloud, Glacier Point and the rock formations of the Garden of the Gods, with a statue of Washington at Richmond adding a civic subject. Some scenes follow a route through the landscape, while others bring buildings and water into one frame. The printed material is dated 1878–1901.
