George Eastman Museum From the album Haute-Savoie, Le Mont Blanc et Ses Glaciers: Souvenir du Voyage de M. M. L'Imperatrice (Paris, 1860). The Bisson brothers' alpine accomplishments resulted in a 24-photograph album, dedicated to the Emperor and Empress of France, featuring majestic views of crevasses, ice, snowfields, and mountain tops. Ascension au Mont Blanc provides a sense of the sublime as the humans making their way through the snowfield appear as insects in this landscape.
