Available in extremely limited quantities, this book of landscape photography is the most exquisite monograph we have held and laid eyes on in recent memory. Upon close inspection the abstract image on the cover reveals itself to be a hillside in the French Pyrenees, and so begins one of many discoveries to be made leafing through Gaumy's masterpiece. And it's important to mention that our customers will appreciate the superb print quality, paper selection, and binding: a tome and object to dote on.

This beautiful, large-format publication is based upon a famed Magnum photographer's hikes and climbs in the Occitan Piedmont and the French Pyrenees. Gaumy's photographs detail the pitted mountainscapes of these regions, both up close and from afar, in an austere but luxuriant document of geologic time. The volume closes with excerpts from René Daumal's great mountaineering novel Mount Analogue (1937).
