Jerry de Wilde’s gorgeous photography captures a deeply intimate portrait of a lost era—Los Angeles in the 1960s.

Call Before You Come: The Photographs of Jerry de Wilde presents a stunning portrait of an era that lit up briefly but brightly—Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 1970s. De Wilde’s photographs provide a rich and intimate look at the American countercultural scene, from “the Farm” where he lived above Warner Bros. Studios and photographed his friends experimenting with tie dye, to wider cultural events and art happenings, love-ins, anti-war demonstrations, Monterey Pop, and the March on Washington. Call Before You Come touches art, music, fashion, and politics, but also friendship, family, and community—an examination of life.
