[GBW] Books about Trees Exhibition at Beinecke Library, Yale University

["Eric Alstrom, GBW Communications Chair" <communications@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trees in Fact and Fable
An Exhibition of Illustrated Books at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript
Library
on view through May 25

The spreading chestnut, the Charter Oak, the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, Yggdrasil, the olive branch, the laurel wreath. Trees and images
of trees pervade our language, our history, our poetry, and our mythologies.
This unsystematic romp through the collections of the Beinecke Library
gathers books with representations of trees. Included are botanical books
from four centuries, first trees, biblical trees, sacred trees, mythological
trees, family trees, emblematic trees, and literary trees, from Ovid, Dante,
and Shakespeare to Goethe, Longfellow, and Joyce Kilmer.
