The Matterhorn, or Cervin, notorious for the first fatal descent by Edward Whymper’s party, was not a mountain to be tackled by the artist’s brush until it became the subject for book illustration c.1820 and most beautifully reproduced in coloured aquatint and lithography. Monte Rosa, a close neighbour, also attracted the artist ‘J.J.B.’ in an illustration in Forbes ‘A Physician’s Holiday’ 1849. Ruskin, for ‘Modern Painters’ 1856 produced some masterful drawings of The Cervin. ‘K.M.’ produced a grand watercolour for a chromolithograph of The Matterhorn in ‘Summer Months among the Alps’ by Hinchcliff, 1857. Geroge Barnard followed quickly, illustrating Mrs. Cole’s ‘A Lady’s Tour round Monte Rosa’ 1859.  Below is his original watercolour of Monte Rosa.
