Beautiful Photos and Thoreau
Featuring text from Henry David Thoreau’s first book and photos by Eliot Porter, IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD was published in this 1962 softcover edition by the Sierra Club, San Francisco CA. Porter’s beautiful nature photography covers all the seasons, to match quotes from Thoreau. The original hardbound edition was proclaimed as ‘one of the ten most beautiful books in the world,’ and although this doesn’t quite match the sparkle of that one, it’s well produced and printed.
The book is in Very Good condition with very minor edge/corner wear to the covers. Inside pages are without apparent defects. It’s full of beauty – and many pages could easily be matted and framed for decorating your walls! (6109/r40)
