Quer-Gr.8°, 135 S., zahlr. Abb., ill. Original-Kart.Tadellos. Ein Russe war der Erste, der im Bergell breit fotografierte: der zaristische Finanzbeamte Anton von Rydzewski (1836 ? -1913) aus Sankt Petersburg, der später in Dresden lebte. Vor gut hundert Jahren machte er im damals kaumbeachteten Tal 2000 Aufnahmen, die ein Jahrhundert lang vergessen oder verschollen waren. Bei der Arbeit am Wanderbuch «Grenzland Bergell» stiessen Ursula Bauer und Jürg Frischknecht auf über 400 Rydzewski-Fotografien: im Museum Alpin in Pontresina, im Museum für Kommunikation in Bern, im Bergell und schliesslich dank Zufall und Glück bei Nachfahren in Berlin. Aus diesen Funden entstand die viel beachtete Ausstellung «Ein Russ im Bergell», die in Maloja und Chiavenna zu sehen war. Nun stellen Bauer und Frischknecht den ersten Fotografen des Tals in einem Buch vor. Erst mit fünfzig Jahren verfiel «der Russ» den Bergen und kam so ins Bergell. Dank dem legendären Führer Christian Klucker gelangen ihm zahlreiche Erstbesteigungen. Der Alpinist fotografierte nicht nur Gipfel und Gletscher, sondern auch Land und Leute: Steinbrucharbeiter und Hotelangestellte,einheimische Familien, Bergführer und Hirten, Schmuggler und Grenzbeamte ? und als frühe «Reportage» einen Bergamasker Alpaufzug. Die Hälfte der heutebekannten Originalabzüge entstand bis 1900. Rydzewski träumte von einem reich bebilderten Prachtsband «Das Bergell». Das Fotobuch «Ein Russ im Bergell» stellt den beinahe vergessenen Alpinisten, Fotografen und Publizisten vor und macht über hundert Aufnahmen zugänglich.Please notify before visiting to see a book.
