Few pictures on this board are as quiet as this one: a close study of Scottish thistle and heather, titled with the Rochester, New York, location noted on its caption card. Paul Caponigro, a photographer known for patient studies of plants, stone and water, made the print in 1958, and it was printed two years later. The Library of Congress holds it in the Master Photographs Collection. The record's details come from an unverified caption card, so the exact setting is worth checking before relying on it.
