Oak Tree Journal — Pfleger 1788 & Petersen 1816 Quercus Robur Botanical Landscape Study

In 1788, Ludwig Pfleger documented Quercus robur — the English oak — with the anatomical precision of Enlightenment-era botanical science; in 1816, the Danish naturalist Søren Henrik Petersen captured the same tree in full landscape silhouette in his Studies after Nature with Regard to Landscape Drawing — the oak as it appears to the walker who stops, looks up, and stays a while; the front cover features Pfleger’s 1788 study of blossoms, acorns, and bark rendered with Enlightenment rigour, while the back cover presents Petersen’s 1816 landscape study of a majestic oak in full silhouette, the tree as ancient witness, rooted in time — two centuries of botanical attention held in a single wraparound cover.
