Snow on the Hills - F. S. Smythe (1948, Second Edition)

A beautiful mid-century photography book exploring the stillness and atmosphere of snow-covered hills and mountains. Snow on the Hills brings together forty-seven black and white photographs taken by F. S. Smythe, capturing snow as something soft, powerful and deeply reflective.

There’s a calm, contemplative quality throughout, snowy ridge-lines, distant peaks and hushed winter landscapes that invite you to slow down and linger. Smythe’s writing is thoughtful and poetic, reflecting on snow as memory, mood and experience rather than spectacle.

Published in London by Adam & Charles Black, this 1948 second edition is cloth-bound in its original linen boards with a blue title label. A lovely coffee table book or quiet companion for winter reading.
