Celebrating Cherry Blossom Trees in Washington's National Parks
A rich array of historical and contemporary images related to cherry trees is available at the Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division. The artwork in this case represents the continuing resonance of cherry blossoms in American culture. Thanks to a 1912 gift of cherry trees from Tokyo, Japan, and the National Park Service's tireless efforts, the glorious pink and white blossoms return each spring along the Tidal Basin and around the city. |
