The Wilder‎ Shore 1984 Sierra Club Exhibit California Large Photography Book

The Wilder Shore is a large-format Sierra Club Exhibit Edition coffee table book that celebrates the dramatic beauty of California’s natural landscapes. Featuring photography by Morley Baer, the book presents sweeping coastal cliffs, rolling hills, forests, rivers, valleys, and open farmland through both black-and-white and color images. The photographs are printed in generous sizes with wide margins, giving the feel of a curated gallery or museum exhibition.  The imagery is paired with reflective, literary essays by David Rains Wallace, exploring California’s relationship with wilderness, land use, and history. A foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Wallace Stegner adds historical and cultural context, making this book as thoughtful as it is visually striking.  Designed as an exhibit-format publication, this book was meant to be displayed and enjoyed over time. Its neutral, classic aesthetic makes it an excellent choice for offices, libraries, waiting rooms, or living spaces, as well as for collectors of nature photography and Sierra Club publications.
