There is a particular quality to the balsam fir in late autumn — the weight of its branches, the resin sharp in cold air, the cones already spent and falling. This print tries to hold some of that.
Drawn in the tradition of 19th century botanical illustration, Abies balsamea is documented here as it grows on our sixty-acre woodland in Downeast Maine. Needle structure, cone formation, bark detail, and field notes rendered in copper engraving style — the kind of illustration that belongs in a naturalist's cabinet as much as on a wall.
Part of the Woodland Studies collection. Each specimen is rooted in a specific place, a specific season, a specific tree.
