The latest subject of Stephen Malkoff's historic ree series is Florida's Fairchild Oak. Located near Ormond Beach, this mighty oak is one of the largest live oak trees in the South.
For centuries the Fairchild Oak escaped the wilderness clearing for plantations and modern development. In 1836 this tree stood witness to the destruction of the settlements on Bulow Creek by raiding Seminole Indians.
The Fairchild Oak is the park's patriarch amongst numerous plantation ruins, most hidden in the undergrowth of the forest. All ruins are now protected as state archaeological sites.
Signed and numbered prints by artist Stephen Malkoff are now available in the Gallery Shop where you can also see a the entire Malkoff Collection and framing services available for his prints.
