Magic Lantern Slide: Prostrate Beech, Stoke Woods
Alfred Rowden was a keen amateur photographer and natural historian in Exeter. He often gave talks at local field clubs, illustrated with magic lantern slides that he created or purchased from commercial manufacturers. Stoke Woods, on the outskirts of Exeter, was one of his favourite places to study nature. On this slide he has recorded ‘Branches reaching up to the light’.
