Vintage Alpine Postcards (Max Leonard) brings together postcards from the Alps spanning almost a century, celebrating the great European mountain range.
A visual journey: mountaineers in period clothing, the golden age of large hotels, then the concrete modernism of high-altitude restaurants and cable car stations.
The images tell the story of the evolution of our relationship with landscape and leisure, from the sublime to the kitsch, from the intrepid to the banal.
Behind the “Alpenkitsch”, the book also questions our relationship with nature and the way in which we have sometimes abused its beauty.
