Represented throughout art and literature, trees feature in the earliest photographs from the 1840s as well as in contemporary works today. This exhibition, drawn entirely from the J.

Documenting primeval forests and cultivated nature, these images explore the tree in its many connotationsas a graphic form, an evocative emblem, and vital evidence of the natural world in which we live.”
