Hippocrates, Vol. IV (Loeb Classical Library)

A black and white photograph of an ancient oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis) in Cos (Kos), Greece. The tree is massive with a deeply gnarled and textured trunk, featuring heavy limbs that spread outwards. At least one large wooden prop is visible, supporting a branch on the left side. The tree is situated behind a low, white-plastered stone wall in a cobblestone or paved square. In the background, architecture including a building and a dome can be seen. On the far left, a person is walking away from the camera. The photo is framed by a light-colored margin.
