EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a remarkable rescue mission in the treacherous Mont Saint Bernard. In this 20th-century colour litho, we witness the heroic efforts of a St Bernard dog saving a British alpinist named Wawson from certain peril. Caught in the midst of a snowstorm while attempting to conquer the daunting mountain, Wawson found himself trapped in a ravine. It was here that his fate took an unexpected turn as he encountered his savior - a loyal and courageous St Bernard. Illustrated for Le Petit Journal on October 12,1913, this image captures the intense emotions surrounding this incredible event. The man's injuries are evident as he leans heavily on his walking stick, grateful for both human and animal intervention. The significance of this moment extends beyond mere rescue; it symbolizes the indomitable spirit of mountaineers who face immense challenges head-on. It also highlights the crucial role animals play in our lives, acting as guardians and protectors when we need them most. As we gaze upon this powerful scene captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us reflect on the resilience of those who dare to explore nature's majestic wonders. May it serve as a reminder that even amidst adversity, hope can be found through unexpected sources – such is the magic woven into every corner of our world.
