07. Circular view of the mountains from the summit of the Buet, 1779

Public Deposited

Horace-Bénédict de Saussure and Marc-Théodore Bourrit collaborated on this panoramic perspective from the summit of the Buet. The image represented the summit position of a living eye above the earth, and of a naturalist who "seems to dominate above our globe."
