Framed veneer on wood board of the Great Elm of Boston Common. Produced in 1876. The veneer is made from the Great Elm, a large elm tree that was a landmark on Boston Common. The Elm was likely over 200 years old when it fell in a storm on February 15, 1876. A beloved symbol of the city, the Great Elm was memorialized on plaques like this. The plaque includes a lithograph by L. Prang and Co of the Great Elm on Boston Common, along with a quote by the Mayor of Boston at the time, Samuel Cobb. Also marked "Spurr's papered Veneer". The framed piece measures 18" tall by 13 1/4" wide by 1 3/4" deep. Condition: very good overall, with minor surface wear, crazing as expected. A wonderful piece of New England and Massachusetts history! Keywords: decor, decoration, MA, tree, trees, arboreal, historic, historical, Revolutionary War, Revolution, environmental
