In Wildness

In Wildness Synopsis

In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World is a vintage classic that pairs passages by writer Henry David Thoreau with images by photographer Eliot Porter.

Ahead of its time, this bestselling-and long-out-of-print-classic monograph was first published in 1962.

Porter masterfully created color photographs of the New England woods to pair with the writings of Henry David Thoreau.
