About the Item
A detailed Grand Tour panorama of the Pyrenees on handmade 1832 paper with a large "Sun of St. Moritz" heraldic watermark, circa 1840.
Watercolor, graphite and grayish ink on two sheets of cream laid paper with an 1836, M, and smiling sun watermark, 10 1/4 x 25 7/8 inches (260 x 658 mm), the full sheet. Titled in ink in French on the recto. In very good condition with minor edge wear including creasing and nicks. A splendid panorama with each of the major peaks and point of interest labeled and identified in French.
The iconic symbol of the Swiss resort, the "Sun of St. Moritz," was adopted from early European heraldic marks and rebranded around 1930 by graphic designer Walter Herdeg. The image was patented in 1937 by spa director Walter Amstutz, becoming the world's first visual trademark for a tourist destination.

Circa 1910 illustrated document by Paillon - Panoramic view of the Mont Blanc
Located in PARIS, FR
This rare circa 1910 illustrated document by Maurice Paillon presents a detailed panoramic view of the Mont Blanc Massif, one of the most legendary and awe-inspiring mountain ranges in the world. Capturing the majesty of Western Europe’s highest peak (4,809m) and its surrounding summits, glaciers, and valleys, this historical document serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable mountaineering reference.
At the time of its creation, alpinism was flourishing, with climbers from across Europe eager to conquer Mont Blanc and its neighboring peaks. The illustration, likely derived from photographic and topographic studies, offers a remarkably accurate relief representation of the range. Every major peak, ridge, and glacier is meticulously labeled, providing an invaluable geographical guide to the region.
The sepia-toned print evokes the early 20th-century aesthetic, blending scientific precision with artistic craftsmanship. The inclusion of key locations such as Chamonix, Aiguille du Midi, Dôme du Goûter, and the Vallée...
