The images are as arresting as they are revealing. Most of all, they illustrate the narrative power of great photography. Shot in simple black-and-white, they chronicle life in Maryland from the sublime to the humble and include:
- Master Derby charging past Foolish Pleasure at the finish line to win the Preakness in front of thousands shoe-horned into Old Hilltop in 1975.
- A dramatic lightning strike illuminating the Baltimore skyline during a winter storm in 1954.
- An elegantly dressed young couple enjoying a romantic moonlight excursion aboard an old bay liner in 1938.
These and hundreds of other images make up Maryland Exposed: Iconic Photography of The Baltimore Sun, The Baltimore Sun's newest book of photos that brings into focus Maryland's rich and varied past.
