Vintage Five Paths Wright Park Tacoma framed print, restored from an original early 1900s postcard: "Five Paths, Wright Park, Tacoma, Wash."

This print shows shady paths meeting under the big trees and shrubs of Wright Park. It's reproduced from an original antique postcard in our own collection, scanned at 1200 dpi and carefully restored: we removed dust, specks, and the printing dot pattern and brightened the faded inks, while keeping the original color and printed caption.

A LITTLE HISTORY
Wright Park began in 1886, when Charles B. Wright, president of the Tacoma Land Company, gave the city 20 acres. The parks board adopted a design by Bavarian-born landscape architect Edward O. Schwagerl in 1890, and gardener Ebenezer Roberts carried it out, planting trees from around the world along winding paths like the ones on this card. Today the 27-acre park is an arboretum with about 600 trees, home to the 1908 W. W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory, and it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

THE SET
The same postcard is also on a mug, an ornament, a puzzle, a coaster, a tea towel, a poster and a canvas.
