During a life of many and varied interests, the art historian and
mountaineer William Martin Conway (1856 1927) served as a professor
of art at Liverpool and Cambridge, a member of parliament,
director-general of the Imperial War Museum, and president of the
Alpine Club. He climbed extensively in Europe and the Himalayas,
mapped part of the Karakoram range (for which he was knighted), and
named several mountains. In 1894 he walked the length of the Alps
accompanied by two Gurkha soldiers. The celebrated expedition took
the party sixty-five days to complete. Conway and his companions
climbed twenty-one peaks, including Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau and
Grossglockner, and traversed thirty-nine mountain passes. Published
a year later, this is the illustrated second edition of Conway's
popular personal account of the expedition, in which he documents
the party's progress on a daily basis.
