Sections of the New Tacoma Cemetery remained in its natural state with looming fir trees and tall grass. In 1954, the large Nativity scene was positioned on a rough wooden stand with evergreen boughs over its roof while the Three Wise Men approached under the shade of an enormous tree. The painted cutouts were made of plywood and could be used more than once. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
