Harry Crosby is almost single-handedly responsible for introducing the culture, history and landscapes of Baja California to contemporary audiences through his explorations, landmark photography and classic volumes on the magic peninsula, including “Antigua California.”

Mexico honored Harry Crosby with a postage stamp for his pioneering photography and documentation of over 180 rock art sites painted by the peninsula's original inhabitants. The resulting book, “The Painted Caves of Baja California” received international acclaim and is credited for helping to bring UNESCO World Heritage Site designation to the Sierra de San Francisco murals.
