Photo of the Sainte-Marie viaduct, Les Houches, Mont-Blanc, signed Dubois, 35 x 44 cm.

Black and white photograph depicting the Sainte-Marie railway viaduct in the Chamonix valley, with the Mont-Blanc massif and the Aiguille du Goûter in the background. The image highlights the large masonry arches of this iconic bridge on the Saint-Gervais – Vallorcine line (Mont-Blanc Express), dominating the valley and its alpine pastures. The print, signed Dubois in pencil at the bottom right, presents a classic viewpoint of this highly photographed alpine viaduct throughout the 20th century. The composition plays on the monumental verticality of the railway structure and the depth of the snow-covered mountain landscape. The photograph is mounted under a mat and presented in a gilded wooden frame. The total size of the piece is approximately 35 X 44 cm. The print shows an old trace of moisture in the upper left part, now discreet and largely mitigated by the mat. Overall, it remains decorative with a photographic contrast still well present.
