Elder Oak Series #2 – Hand-painted and varnished photographic print.

Andrew Oak is located at Oak Alley Plantation, Vacherie, LA.  The Andrew Oak is one of the most distinctive-shaped trees in the 350-plus year-old alley of oaks at Oak Alley Plantation. It is the #6 tree in the east row counting from the plantation home’s front porch. Its trunk has several large burls that create odd profiles when viewed from different angles at different times of day. The oak is named after Andrew Stewart, who with his wife Josephine were the last individuals to own the plantation and who undertook its adaptive restoration in 1925. Before Jospehine’s death, 26 years after Andrew, Mrs. Stewart established the Oak Alley Foundation to preserve and protect the plantation home and its alley of historic oaks. The Andrew Oak's girth is approximately 28’ 5”.
