The image is a vintage botanical illustration showcasing three different sections of wood from the *Quercus digitata* (Finger Oak, Spanish Oak). Each section is presented as a rectangular panel, arranged vertically. **Top Panel: Transverse Section** - This section displays the wood cut across the grain, revealing a dense pattern of growth rings. The color is a warm, golden-brown with variations in tone. The grain is tight and closely packed, creating a textured appearance. **Middle Panel: Radial Section** - This section shows the wood cut along the radius of the tree. The grain is more pronounced and linear, with long, straight lines running across the panel. The color is a lighter, creamy-brown with subtle variations. **Bottom Panel: Tangential Section** - This section displays the wood cut tangent to the growth rings. The grain is more swirling and irregular, with a mix of straight and curved lines. The color is a medium-brown with a slightly reddish tint. Each panel is labeled with the type of section (Transverse, Radial, Tangential) in white text. Above the panels, the scientific name *Quercus digitata* is displayed, along with the common names Finger Oak and Spanish Oak. Below the panels, the names in German, French, and Spanish are listed: Ger. Finger-Eiche, Fr. Chêne de doigt, Sp. Roble de dedo. The image has a vintage, slightly faded appearance, typical of old botanical illustrations. A number '269' is at the top left corner. At the bottom, there is a line of text indicating the publication and sectioning by Romeyn B. Hough, B.A., Lowville, N.Y., U.S.A.
