These days, most people associate Sonoma County with wine and cheese, both of which are made to exceptional quality standards in many varieties. You don‘t get that sense in this beautiful image from Portfolio IV, but you can imagine the pastoral beauty that inspires the residents and wine and cheese makers.

Portfolio Four, entitled ‘What Majestic Word’, was produced in 1963 in an edition of 260 with 15 prints in each.

Published by the Sierra Club with the assistance of the Varian Foundation, it is dedicated to Russell Varian, co-inventor of the Klystron tube. Russell Varian and his father John were early members of the Sierra Club and shared a love for the wilderness and nature. Excerpts of their writings are included on the slip sheet for each photograph.

‘Love to your soil, and your heights, and your mystery / Love to your valleys and vague satin colored mountains... / The ocean of my love rolls ever in upon you. / There is no ebb tide in it.’

Klystron tubes were originally used to create specific frequency radar emissions, and have subsequently be developed for radiation therapies.
