Original illustration from The Lost Forest, page 19

$275.00

The Lost Forest in northern Minnesota remains because of an original survey error in 1892.  The old growth pines are now preserved, as The Lost Forty, a Scientific and Natural Area within the Chippewa National Forest due to sleuthing among the old maps and notes in the 1950's. "All around those forgotten tall trees (and all across most of Minnesota) lumberjacks cut down the forests ..." Here is the original illustration by Betsy, an acrylic painting on paper, 8 x 12 inches, that was used in The Lost Forest, by Phyllis Root, University of Minnesota Press, 2016.
