Notes

This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "A good-looking young Swiss mountain guide at Adelboden. Images of rugged working-class men (of any nationality) appear regularly in the scrap-books and collections of middle- and upper-class English Collectors, and this interest frequently developed into a fetish."
