• black-and-white prints - Prints composed using only black and white, usually black ink on white paper. For black-and-white photographs, use "black-and-white prints (photographs)."
• forests - Historically, refers to wilderness areas outside the scope of common law but within the legislation of kings and reserved for royal activities; more recently, used to designate extensive wooded areas, whether maintained for the production of timber or unmanaged and preserving a wilderness of dense growth and wild animal habitats.
