| Title | Two men looking at burnt timber after a clear-cut and fire on Bainbridge Island, ca. 1900 |
| Photographer | unknown |
| Date | ca. 1900 |
| Caption | 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. |
