Glory Of The Great Land:The Alaska Photography Of Bradford Washburn with oil sketches by George Browne

Internationally known photographer and cartographer Bradford Washburn made more than 50 trips to Alaska during his remarkable career. Glory of the Great Land includes his breathtaking photographs taken over six decades.

Washburn was the first climber to twice reach the summit of Mount McKinley, alongside his wife Barbara who was the first woman to summit the mountain. Artist George Browne accompanied the Washburns on a successful 1947 Mount McKinley climb. In addition to his climbing gear, Browne carried paint, canvas and an easel. He painted 20 oil sketches at the first four major camps on the ascent. His paintings will accompany Washburn’s photographs in this exhibition.
