Légende

'The Pass of the Great Saint Bernard - Hospice of the Great St. Bernard', 1828. Great St. Bernard Pass is the third highest road pass in Switzerland and the most ancient pass through the Western Alps, with evidence of use as far back as the Bronze Age and surviving traces of a Roman road. The St. Bernard dog breed was created at the hospice, raised as guard dogs, before they became mountain rescue dogs. After William Brockedon (1787-1854). [Rodwell, London, 1828]
