Curious Oak at Baden-Baden, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Curious Oak at Baden-Baden, 1844....two branches of an oak-tree, which, re-uniting above, again forms one single trunk, as undivided and complete as at the base. Nature, and not art, has produced this junction. The tree was, for the first time, observed in 1818, by wood-cutters in the Kaiserswald (now Mahlbergwald), Grand Duchy of Baden. Being considered a great curiosity, this portion of the tree was cut off and fixed in a part of the grounds surrounding Mahlberg Schloss...Between the branches is seen the village of Orschweier; beyond are the vine-bearing hills of the Kaiserstahl; and more distant still, on the right, the mountains of the Vosges in France; the Rhine flowing between these two ranges. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Curious Oak at Baden-Baden, 1844" takes us back to a time when the wonders of nature were celebrated and captured with awe. The image showcases two branches of an oak tree that intertwine above, forming a single trunk as undivided and complete as its base. What makes this phenomenon even more intriguing is that it was not created by human hands but rather by the forces of nature itself. First observed in 1818 by wood-cutters in the Kaiserswald (now Mahlbergwald) of Grand Duchy of Baden, this unique portion of the tree was considered such a curiosity that it was cut off and preserved in the grounds surrounding Mahlberg Schloss. In this print, we can see the village of Orschweier nestled between the branches, while beyond them lie the vine-bearing hills of Kaiserstahl. On the right side, we catch a glimpse of France's Vosges mountains with the Rhine flowing gracefully between these two majestic ranges. The engraving from "Illustrated London News" transports us to an era where natural phenomena like this were marvelled at and shared through newspapers. Although created anonymously, this print serves as a testament to both Victorian curiosity and appreciation for nature's extraordinary creations. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded once again that there is still so much beauty waiting to be discovered within our natural world.
