The first edition of this work, with a loosely inserted slip reading 'with the publisher's compliments, for the favour of review'.

Gardner's work on alpine photography was prompted by his belief that the hobby of photography added to the appreciation scenery and holidays, even suggesting that photographs could be a 'pleasant if less exciting adventure' than actual mountaineering.
