People living with the threat of avalanches; representing Winter. Etching.

James Thomson

Lettering: In peaceful vales the happy Grisons dwell. Oft rushing sudden from the loaded cliffs mountains of snow their gathering terrors roll. From steep to steep, loud thundering down they come, and herds, and flocks and travellers and swains, or hamlets sleeping in the dead of night, are deep beneath the smothering ruin whelm'd. Thomson.
