Zermatt

In 1891 the Swiss Alpine Club published “EvolenaZermattMonte Rosa” (Matterhorn in the lower left), a map containing remarkable shaded relief and cliff drawings. The lithography was executed by Rudolf Leuzinger. The brothers Kümmerly from Bern made the rest of the map including the relief shading and final lithographic printing. Eight colours were used in the printing process.
