The edelweiss gatherer De verzamelaar van de edelweiss Bamforth & Co. maakte deze serie van 15 vierkante lantaarnplaten, gebaseerd op een gedicht van Joseph Ashmore Russan, The edelweiss gatherer gepubliseerd in de Onward Reciter 226 (Juli 1890). |

| 1. A flower of wondrous beauty blooms in the Alpine mounts, / On rocky cliff, 'mid snow and ice, near never resting founts | 2. And many a lady fair had offered gold in vain / To tempt her guide to risk his life the lovely flower to gain | 3. But Carl Anspach was fearless, and when he heard of the boon, / He vowed he would pluck the floweret before the morrow noon |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. While thus in thought, Annette came forth from out her father's door, / 'What, Carl!' she said, 'Art joyful then?' Why, what in fairy lore | 5. It gleamed upon the Edelweiss, and Carl who all alone / Had dared the dreadful avalanche, had scaled the snow-clad cone | 6. The sun shone on another form scaling the ice-clad steep: / It was Annette! for dreams had come forbidding her to sleep |
 |
 |
|
 |
||
| 7. For in a dream she thought she stood upon the awful height, / With Carl suspended down below, in the early morning light | 8. The rope was fastened to a rock. Oh horror! at the edge / Its strands were nearly cut in twain by the cruel rock ledge | 9. She woke, she dressed, she rushed without, regardless of the cold / For Carl Ansprach would lose his life in gaining her the gold |
 |
 |
|
 |
||
| 10. For she saw the swinging, straining rope, she saw the parting strands, / She saw, oh, horror! saw him fall! unhelped by human hand | 11. She reached the top! she ran! O, God! she seized the parting rope, / Her dream was true! 'twas almost through! yet angels bade her hope | 12. 'Ten golden pounds! that is your worth! a gold piece every bud! / 'Twill please Annette when I give -- What's this? A spot of blood! |
 |
 |
 |
| 13. Who calls? who calls Carl? and why should I be quick? I can see -- / Why, what is this? a woman's head? Annette's? it cannot be! | 14. This misty sun is dazzling! it is fancy without doubt, / Again that cry! did some one say, 'My wrists are giving out' ' |
15. Upwards he climbed, he gained the cliff, he kissed the bleeding wrists, /
But nevermore seeks Edelweiss among the mountain mists |
