Description
Photograph of a tall century plant in a park, ca.1920. In the center, a slender tree stands with small branches on the top half that sprout into tiny clusters of leaves. The bottom half of the tree is grooved with diagonal cuts on the bark while a desert-like plant grows on the bottom. In the background, park benches sit on the edge of what seems to be paved walkways while a person can be seen sitting on a bench to the left. More trees and bushes can be seen in the background.
