The artist Samuel Grundman is included in the book "Mont Blanc, Conquest of the Imagination" Paul Payot Collection In the fabulous collection of engravings, lithographs, paintings, drawings collected by the Chamonix Paul Payot (1912-1977), the "Mont Blanc's Kingdom" is the endless spectacle of the changing spectacle of its splendours, a work that has been the fruit of ten years of research, and offers a choice of more than four hundred works by the talent of artists of the 18th and 19th centuries. "Portrait" after "portrait", the Mont-Blanc is discovered under the unknown, new and fascinating masks which the pioneers of the "journey to the coolers" have adorned it. "Sublime" or "horrible", seducer or dreaded "earthly paradise" or den of demons, Mont Blanc obsesses and enchants.
