ARCHIVE IMAGES - just a small selection from the extensive collection
of archive images of trees and related subjects in my
files. Wood engravings from numerous 19th century
sources, and a few from the 18th century - noteably
some of the plates from 1st Hunter edition of John
Evelyn's 'Silva'. Also have some splendid chromolitho
plates from Boulger and from Herefordshire Pomona.
Subject matter includes: trees, tree details, timber
hauling, timber uses, charcoal burning, bark peeling,
transporting trees, numerous ancient and special
veteran trees (some still standing today), some of the
ancestral homes where special trees grew/grow,
orchards, apples and pears.
