20th century photography culled from the Gerald W. Williams Collection. This genre includes photographs usually taken to emphasize the tree’s grand majesty, beauty, strangeness and/or size compared to the relative smallness of a person, as well as those that
show off the human’s bravado and skills in cutting them down.</font></p>
<p style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"><font size="2">The title is in reference to the rings inside a tree’s trunk that indicate its age and also to the type of picture in which people hold hands and form a ring around a tree,
sometimes to show its size and sometimes to protect it.</font></p>
