‎Inscriptions from Swiss Chalets. A collection of inscriptions found outside and inside Swiss chalets, storehouses and sheds.‎

‎Oxford, University Press, 1913, in-8vo, frontispiece + 208 pp. + 51 ill. reproduced from photographs on plates, stamp on the titel-page and fly-leaf (S.A.C. Sektion Basel) + Ex-libris Peter E. Obergfell, original clothbound.‎

‎The author, a wellknown alpinist (re: Recollections of an old Mountaineer) contributed very much to a wider knowledge of the region of Arolla in the Valais. This collection of the Swiss-chalets-inscriptions is obviously an unique one for the time, that it was written in. The quality of the photographs is also surprisingly good. Not in Perret (other titles). Image disp.‎
