The Old Osage Orange tree was planted in the late 1800s on the grounds of what is now the Armed Forces Retirement Home, in my home neighborhood of Petworth DC. The tree’s gnarly bark, twisted shape, and iron crutch supporting the trunk reinforce its stately age—and transfixed me during a 2025 visit to President Lincoln’s Cottage, its immediate (and older) neighbor. Osage orange trees, planted in 1865, also stand watch over Abraham Lincoln’s gravesite in Springfield IL.
The block for this woodcut print was hand-carved and printed in Washington DC.
