EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Washington Elm" by William J. Stillman takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Captured in 1874 and printed in 1876, this Heliotype image measures 15.2 x 15.2 cm (6 x 6 in. ) and transports us to Boston, Massachusetts. The focal point of the photograph is the majestic Washington Elm tree that stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a serene landscape. Its branches reach out gracefully, as if embracing the rich history it has witnessed over time. Known for its historical significance, this iconic elm tree was said to have stood witness to General George Washington's gathering with his troops during the American Revolution. The tree became a symbol of strength and resilience for the young nation. William J. Stillman masterfully captures not only the physical beauty of this ancient elm but also its deep-rooted connection to America's past. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect on our shared heritage and appreciate nature's ability to preserve historical memories. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, let us be reminded of our country's founding principles and draw inspiration from those who came before us - just as General Washington once did under the shade of this magnificent elm tree.
