Cedars of Lebanon
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The glory of Lebanon was its cedar-trees which is ancient times stood like an army of giants around its base. Every one remembers that when King Solomon built the Temple on Mount Moriah, he sent to Lebanon for cedars to form the roofs of the building and the columns around his own palace. The massive trunks were dragged down to the Mediterranean Sea, floated in rafts to Joppa, and thence carried over the land to Jerusalem. The demands of trade and the wastefulness of successive generations have left only a few groves of these monarchs of the forest remaining, and these few are now carefully guarded. "
