M. de Déchy a Hungarian gentleman took up the task of exploration. In 1884 1885 and 1886 he made three extensive journeys in the range. In 1884 . he climbed Elbruz and a fine peak near the Mamison Pass. In the course of his wanderings he made the first passage by travellers of several native glacier passes and collected a considerable amount of scientific information with regard to the glaciers and the snow region. He also took a very large number of most valuable photographs of the scenery and people thus making himself the pioneer in Caucasian photography. I am indebted to him for some of the most interesting illustrations in these volumes" Freshfield p. 19. <br/><br/>De Déchy returned to the Caucasus again in 1887 this time with Freshfield. Fourteen of De Déchy's photographs were reproduced in Freshfield's Exploration of the Caucasus including "Ice-Lake at Klukhor Pass" one of the images in the present group. He also contributed an entire chapter "The Sources of the Kuban" vol. II chapter XXI. <br/><br/>These beautifully printed platinum prints are in a fine state of preservation and exhibit the wide tonal range and delicate shading characteristic of the process. unknown books
