Logging Among The Humboldt Redwoods California Real Photo Postcard

This postcard, titled Among the Humboldt Redwoods, California, captures a group of men, likely loggers or timber company officials, posed before a colossal redwood tree or stump. The image, credited to A.W. Ericson, a renowned photographer of the North Coast logging industry, highlights the immense scale of the *Sequoia sempervirens* (coast redwood) and the human effort required to fell them in Humboldt County. This period, roughly from the late 19th to early 20th century, marked the zenith of large-scale redwood logging in California.
