H.E. Roberts Hand Tinted Photograph Gen Grant Redwood Tree


Description

Offered for your consideration is a 1920s (or earlier) hand-tinted photograph by H.E. Roberts. The subject is the General Grant Tree, a giant sequoia. The photograph is framed under glass, with the frame size being 14.5" tall and 6" wide. The wood frame is in rough shape, with paint missing, and a chip to the wood at the top. The photograph is in good condition, with a slight wave. However, the lower right corner of the photo has some separation of the surface from the paper, as seen in the photos above. The surface of the photo (the part that separated from the paper) is stuck to the glass right at that point only.

The back of the photo is printed with the tree information and also with information about the photographer, who, in 1919, was granted concession for conducting a photograph gallery and the sale of photographic supplies in General Grant National Park. In 1940, General Grant was absorbed into the new and larger Kings Canyon National Park. Another interesting fact, is that the information on the back of the photograph indicates that the General Grant Tree is 5000 years old. Recently, experts have determined that the tree is closer to 1800 years old.
