[London: Ackermann & Co., 1842.]
Rare & scarce tinted lithograph, heightened in white. Sheet 340 x 400mm (13¼ x 15¾"). Small stain in sky.
A famous oak tree at Cowthorpe, near Wetherby, Yorkshire, said to predate the Norman Conquest. By the 19th century many of its branches had to be propped, but it lasted until 1950, when it fell and died, apparently after being hit by lightning. Dugdale wrote in his 'Antiquities of England': 'At this village may be seen the famous oak, exceeding in size even the Greendale oak at Welbeck in Nottinghamshire. The principal branch was rent off in 1718 in a storm, and being accurately measured was found to contain upwards of five tons of timber. Its present circumference at the ground is 60 feet, its principal limb extends 45 feet from the trunk, and its shadow is said to cover half an acre'.
