BRADFORD WASHBURN (1910-2007), photographer, mountain climber, cartographer, explorer and museum director, spent over four decades making photographs in the high places of the Alaska Range and the Yukon. Photographing with a large format camera on the ground and in the air, Washburn made astonishing images of places that few, if any, had seen before his expeditions. Photographing in High Places presents a collection of ten of these images as photogravures made from Bradford Washburn’s original negatives by Jon Goodman, who has also written a note about the photogravure process.

Martha A. Sandweiss, who was a Professor of History and American Studies at Amherst College, provides an introduction to Washburn’s high mountain views, considering his work within the context of mountaineering photography.
