      J.J.Lankes woodcut design #210, MAPLE TREE I, cut 3-1-23, for A Dracula of the Hills by Amy Lowell, Century Magazine, June 1923. This was the first of three cuts, each successively with the tree structure less open, perhaps to suggest that the heart of Florella was still active in governing the appearance of the tree. "The church members wouldn't let Florella's be put back in hers, - So you won't find that, - only an open space with a maple in the middle of it, - They planted the tree so's no one would ever be buried in that spot ag'in."
