The image is a botanical illustration showcasing three different sections of wood from a tree called *Gleditsia triacanthos*, commonly known as Honey Locust, Black or Sweet Locust, or Three-thorned Acacia. Each section is presented as a rectangular panel with a light brown, grainy texture, resembling wood grain. **Top Panel:** Labeled 'TRANSVERSE SECTION', this panel shows a pattern of concentric rings, indicating the annual growth of the tree. The rings are closely spaced and vary slightly in color, creating a subtle, wavy pattern. **Middle Panel:** Labeled 'RADIAL SECTION', this panel displays a straight-grained pattern with visible medullary rays, appearing as short, radial lines extending from the center. The color is a consistent light brown. **Bottom Panel:** Labeled 'TANGENTIAL SECTION', this panel shows a more complex pattern with interlocked grain and visible growth rings. The grain appears slightly wavy and irregular. Below the panels, there are translations of the tree's name in German, French, and Spanish. The bottom of the image includes text indicating that the illustration was published and sections were made by Romayne B. Hough, B.A., Lowville, N.Y., U.S.A. The background is black, which makes the wood sections stand out. The overall style is reminiscent of a vintage botanical illustration.
