EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "The Watch Oak, c1870" takes us back in time to the enchanting Windsor Great Park in Berkshire, England. Captured from an engraving featured in the renowned book "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, Vol. I" this image showcases a group of armed men beneath the majestic branches of an ancient oak tree.
