Jack London was a man of many parts: cannery worker, oyster pirate, sailor, self-educated author of 50 books, war correspondent, Socialist and forward-thinking rancher.

A lesser-known aspect of his immense activity was photography. Over the course of his life, London took about 12,000 photos, both during his journalistic exploits and his travels with wife Charmian. His photos form a fascinating record of a world unknown to most Americans, and display an unerring sense of drama, sharp composition, and sympathetic respect for his subjects.

Independent Docent: Avril Angevine
