Description: c1907 Summit of Mt Meany Ascent Photo Print Asahel Curtis Nelson Olympic Range Henry Landes Original vintage photo print from circa 1907 ~ 6 ¼” x 9 ½” I bought this as is . . . so, I do not know what publication this was removed from – it looks like a magazine . . . Asahel Curtis and L.A. Nelson were famous photographers in the Pacific Northwest. The image is titled: Summit of Mt. Meany, Steepest Crag in The Olympic Range The description is: “Climbing the Almost Perpendicular Side of Mount Meany. First Ascent, August 9, 1907, by Asahel Curtis, L.A. Nelson and P.M. McGregor. The Larger Picture is from a Photograph by Professor Henry Landes, of the University of Washington. The first ascent of the mountain was made August 8, 1907, by Asahel Curtis, Lorenz Nelson, and Peter McGregor. Mount Meany is a prominent 6,695-foot mountain summit located deep within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state. I am not going to expand on the Curtis and Nelson photographic team – you probably already know them, but here is some info on Landes: Professor Henry Landes . . .
