BOSTON COMMON - GREAT ELM - A Lost Icon of Boston's History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This line engraving from the mid-19th century showcases the majestic Great Elm tree that once stood proudly in Boston Common. The image immortalizes a significant piece of American history, as this iconic elm was tragically destroyed during a fierce storm in 1876. The Great Elm served as a beloved landmark for generations, providing shade and beauty to those who sought respite on its sprawling lawn. It witnessed countless scenes of leisure and recreation, with people strolling along its paths or engaging in ball games under its protective branches. This engraving captures the essence of an era when outdoor activities were cherished and embraced by both young and old. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the rich heritage that lies within Boston's oldest public park. The Granger Collection has masterfully preserved this historical moment, allowing us to reflect on the significance of nature's power and our connection to it. Although no longer physically present at Boston Common, the memory of the Great Elm lives on through works like these. Its absence serves as a reminder that even mighty structures can succumb to natural forces but leave an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. Let us cherish this remarkable artwork as a testament to both human resilience and nature's ability to shape our surroundings throughout time.
