EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in vibrant color lithography in 1934 is a stunning representation of Joshua Trees (Yucca Brevifolia), native to California and surrounding regions. This unique tree, with its distinctive shape resembling raised hands in prayer, has been immortalized by European School artists as part of the 'Bizarre Trees' series produced for the European market.
In this vintage print from 1934, we see a majestic Joshua Tree standing tall against a serene desert backdrop. The artist's use of bold colors and meticulous attention to detail brings out the intricate textures and shapes of these remarkable trees. This illustration is not only an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a fascinating piece of advertising history.
The name 'Joshua Tree' was given by Mormon settlers in the 19th century, who likened its shape to that of Joshua raising his hands towards heaven in prayer. Today, this iconic tree remains a symbol of California's Mojave Desert and continues to captivate artists and nature enthusiasts alike.
