From the Fiescherhorn showing the Schreckhorn and Lauteraarhorn, Bernese Oberlan 1908

Curator: This silver gelatin print captures the Bernese Oberland, specifically From the Fiescherhorn showing the Schreckhorn and Lauteraarhorn. Editor: It feels ancient, almost like a memory surfacing—the stark peaks and glacial valleys speak of time immemorial. A visual echo of nature's power. Curator: The mountainscape, a study in light and shadow, is powerful—mountains, since antiquity, have been the symbol of permanence and the connection between heaven and earth. Editor: Absolutely. Those jagged peaks seem to pierce the sky, almost daring the viewer to contemplate mortality. I'm also curious what it would feel like to be there. Curator: Indeed, that might be what the artist, George Perry Ashley Abraham, wanted to convey. The sublime feeling of standing in the face of something so much bigger than ourselves. Editor: Well, he succeeded. This image captures the haunting beauty and fragility of the landscape—a reminder of what we stand to lose. Curator: It's a landscape of grandeur, indeed. Editor: It certainly is, and I think I will carry this feeling with me for a while.
