    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    This comprises a catalogue of membership of the elite Alpine Club, founded in 1857. The club was founded to support mountaineers by key figures during the Golden Age of Alpinism.

    Each volume contains a stamp to the title page stating 'publisher's file copy', and a label to each cover detailing 'file copy'.

    Compiled by Arnold Louis Mumm (1859-1927), honorary Librarian, Secretary and Vice-President of the Alpine Club.

    Complete from the founding of the club in 1857 through until 1890.

    Three very scarce volumes detailing the history of the Alpine Club.
