Brad Washburn Original, Autographed Photo "After the Storm"

You can take home this very rare, original silver gelatin photo, which is signed by Bradford Washburn himself!

Mountaineer, explorer, mapmaker, author. Brad Washburn is all of these things, but he is best known for his striking photography.
"After the Storm" is one of Washburn's most iconic photos. The day he captured this incredible image he was flying to photograph the Matterhorn on a bright sunny morning after a fresh snowfall. A perfect day! While en route they flew over this group of climbers, he instructed his pilot to turn around so he could take this marvelous series of a group climbing the Doldenhorn.

Hang this gorgeous, autographed Washburn over your mantle, in your office, or in the living room. Where ever you hang it, it will command the awe of guests as they take in this striking black and white photo. It is an original 16" by 20" silver gelatin print, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

About Washburn: Washburn visited many wild regions of the globe - including the Alps, remote Alaska, the Grand Canyon, even Mount Everest. A typical method for Brad's photo trips was to remove an airplane door and to secure his camera and himself to the plane; exceptionally warm clothing was critical, especially in wintry conditions. He's also a storied mountaineer having put up many first ascents of major Alaskan peaks, often with his wife Barbara. His legacy lives on in the AAC's Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum and in his photos.
