Description
Photograph of a night view of a forest fire, ca.1920 (1930?). The trees and ground in the foreground are dark with their details shadowed by night while the trees and grass at center glow with fire. Most of the standing trees appear to be stripped of leaves or branches, but several short, pine trees appear to be in tact. Many larger trees have fallen and lie on the ground deteriorating in the flames.
