EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print from the early 20th century showcases a logger standing proudly under the colossal canopy of a majestic Redwood tree. The scene, captured in Santa Cruz, California, depicts an era when these towering giants were being felled to meet the ever-growing demand for lumber. With millions of feet of timber harvested annually from these ancient trees, this image serves as a poignant reminder of both their grandeur and vulnerability. The logger's strong grip on his trusty axe reflects the danger and skill required in this occupation. Surrounded by fellow workers and curious onlookers, he represents the countless individuals who made their living through logging during that time period. These brave men risked their lives daily to extract resources from nature's bounty. The Redwoods themselves stand tall and proud in the background, symbolizing North America's natural world at its finest. As evergreen conifers native to California, they are known for their immense size and longevity. This particular grove is part of Santa Cruz County's Big Tree Grove – a sanctuary where visitors could marvel at these awe-inspiring giants. Printed by Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, this postcard captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights Americans' fascination with nature during that era. Today, it serves as an important historical artifact housed within Lake County Museum's collection. As we gaze upon this image today, let us appreciate both its beauty and significance while acknowledging our responsibility to protect our precious natural heritage for future
