This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.

Architect, theorist, and draftsman Viollet-le-Duc spent the last years of his life living in Switzerland, where he worked on the restoration of the Cathedral of Lausanne and on preparing a map of the Mont Blanc massif. The map was published in 1876 with a “study of its geodesic and geological construction, its transformations, and the old and modern state of its glaciers.” Although executed in an area outside the focus of the map, this drawing relates to those made for that project, combining the careful, analytical approach to recording the terrain with a more painterly and evocative use of the watercolor medium.
