The Wetterhorn
Wonderfully green are the slopes of the Wetterhorn as they shine and sparkle in the clear, cold air of the sunlit Swiss Alpine range. Wonderful and magnificent are their bold contours, and beautiful are their vast shadowed walls, blue shot with rose. Payne, painter of mountains, was not dismayed even by all this almost unpaintable grandeur, and he has given us a picture that is as magnificent as his model—a striking portrait in profile, so to speak.
Note: Wetterhorne is mispelled in the original text as Wetterhorn.
