The ascent of Mont Blanc made easy
The ascent of Mont Blanc made easy: a suggestion to the followers of Mr Albert Smith. A very relaxed Victorian man is transported to the top of the mountain on a giant pair of retractable mechanical tongs. Satirical cartoon about Albert Smith, mountaineer, showman, raconteur and writer whose Ascent of Mont Blanc show at the Egyptian Hall in London inspired Mont Blanc mania in the early 1850s
