EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Washington Elm, Cambridge, 1874" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the majestic Washington Elm tree standing tall on Cambridge Common in Cambridge, Massachusetts. According to historical accounts, it was beneath this very tree that George Washington assumed command of the American Army on July 3rd, 1775. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era with its aged appearance and enchanting landscape. It is an engraving from the renowned book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1874. This volume aimed to depict the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the United States through illustrations created by eminent American artists. The Washington Elm itself holds immense historic significance as a symbol of courage and leadership during the early days of America's fight for independence. Sadly, after gracing the land for approximately two centuries, this venerable tree met its demise in 1923. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by John J. Harley, we are transported back to a time when our nation's destiny hung in balance under the shade of an ancient elm tree. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and inspires us to appreciate both nature's grandeur and our country's enduring spirit.
