About the Item
Chromolithography
Inaugurated in 1910 by the President of the Republic Armand Fallières, this small train that brings visitors from the center of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to the Montenvers site is a true institution.
The Montenvers train has been improved as railway technology has evolved. If the original locomotives were steam powered, they are now electric but one thing has never changed: the rack. This gearing, designed to ensure the train's adherence on steep tracks, has remained the most suitable technique for the route!
At its creation, the train was made up of open and closed cars, without distinction of class indicated on the cars. Indeed, the most affluent people were seated according to the weather conditions, in the sun or sheltered from the rain!
Quickly after its creation, the Montenvers Train became one of the main attractions of the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley. In the 1990's, it welcomed more than one million passengers per year in high season.

Circa 1910 illustrated document by Paillon - Panoramic view of the Mont Blanc
Located in PARIS, FR
This rare circa 1910 illustrated document by Maurice Paillon presents a detailed panoramic view of the Mont Blanc Massif, one of the most legendary and awe-inspiring mountain ranges in the world. Capturing the majesty of Western Europe’s highest peak (4,809m) and its surrounding summits, glaciers, and valleys, this historical document serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable mountaineering reference.
At the time of its creation, alpinism was flourishing, with climbers from across Europe eager to conquer Mont Blanc and its neighboring peaks. The illustration, likely derived from photographic and topographic studies, offers a remarkably accurate relief representation of the range. Every major peak, ridge, and glacier is meticulously labeled, providing an invaluable geographical guide to the region.
The sepia-toned print evokes the early 20th-century aesthetic, blending scientific precision with artistic craftsmanship. The inclusion of key locations such as Chamonix, Aiguille du Midi, Dôme du Goûter, and the Vallée...
