This American elm was designated a national champion in 1979. Bosworth first photographed the tree in 1990 (see 1991.69.1), and the museum acquired a print of the image the following year. She returned a decade later to discover the elm had fallen victim to the natural effects of wind and lightning, as well as vandals who had firebombed the trunk, leaving only one large healthy branch remaining.Earth and Sky: Photographs by Barbara Bosworth exhibition label
