Title
English: Two men looking at burnt timber after a clear-cut and fire on Bainbridge Island, ca. 1900
Description
English:

This haunting photo, taken on Bainbridge Island around 1900, shows all that remains of a virgin forest after a clear-cut and a fire. Such logging practices came to be considered as environmentally destructive, although later timber executives would see themselves as "meadow-makers," encouraging species diversity.
