The state tree since 1953, and the state's name for itself far longer. Crack the spiked husk and the nut explains everything: glossy brown with one pale scar, a deer's half-open eye. This plate comes from Michaux's North American Sylva, the great nineteenth-century survey of American trees — drawn when Ohio's forests still outnumbered its fields.

Source: Michaux, The North American Sylva, via the Biodiversity Heritage Library.

Available at 12×18 and 18×24. This plate is not offered at 24×36: the surviving original does not carry enough detail to print honestly at that size.
