About This Item
1956. No Binding. Fine. A photograph of Robinson Jeffers taken in 1956, six years before the poet's death. Leigh Wiener, a notable Hollywood and celebrity photographer then at the beginning of his career, knocked on Jeffers door one day and, three days later, came away with 300 remarkable photos, more portraits than he would do of any other subject. For more, see "'A Revelation': Leigh Wiener's Portraits of Robinson Jeffers" published in California History in January 2010. This portrait depicts Jeffers inside the three-story Hawk Tower, which he built in honor of his wife Una from beach stones he wheelbarrowed up from the shore. He is sitting in a rocking chair, one of his grandsons in the background. Photo is 8 x 12", frame is approx. 12.5 x 16.5". Photo not examined outside of frame, but appears fine. Signed by Weiner on the white matte, which is also fine. Simple silver frame has a few light scratches, but not distracting. Cardboard backing. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in place-based and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
