Wizard Emerging
A wizard is emerging from an oak tree. He was attracted to this site by the energy of the estate’s original owner. This Pennsylvania family was made prosperous by the father’s innovative commercial ideas in the early days of the railroads.

Note: To the left is the full image of the wizard, which you will receive with your order.
This wizard’s energy emanates from an oak tree at the back family entrance to Stoneleigh, located in Villanova, PA. It is now a public garden under management of the Natural Lands organization. Its original owner, Edmund Smith, back in 1877 was an executive with the new and expanding Pennsylvania Railroad, a technology that at the time was innovative wizardry. Hence the wizard’s 1890s style mustache and beard.
