[Félix FAURE] - Col de la Vanoise (Alpes) : Original photograph commemorating the passage of the Col de la Vanoise in August 1897 by Félix Faure, who came to inspect the alpine hunters (22,5 x 16,5 cm on view in a frame 37 x 30 cm overall), annotations mentioning the various people present. On the back, thanks to a double face, we see the dedication by the photographer member of the Touring Club de France to the Count Geyfié de Bellecombre [This visit of President Faure was so memorable, that the refuge at the Col de la Vanoise built a few years later will bear his name. It is also known that it was during this excursion that President Faure met the beautiful Meg, Marguerite Steinheil, who was to become his mistress from that day on, an "acquaintance" that would prove fatal to him].
