Lavishly illustrated with over 470 images - 129 of them in color,
this book reveals Frederick Law Olmsted's design concepts for more
than seventy public park projects through a rich collection of
sketches, studies, lithographs, paintings, historical photographs,
and comprehensive descriptions. Bringing together Olmsted's most
significant parks, parkways, park systems, and scenic reservations,
this gorgeous volume takes readers on a uniquely conceived tour of
such notable landscapes as Central Park, Prospect Park, the Buffalo
Park and Parkway System, Washington Park and Jackson Park in
Chicago, Boston's "Emerald Necklace," and Mount Royal in Montreal,
Quebec. No such guide to Olmsted's parks has ever been published.
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) planned many parks and park
systems across the United States, leaving an enduring legacy of
designed public space that is enjoyed and defended today. His
public parks, the design of which he was most proud, have had a
lasting effect on urban America. This gorgeous book will appeal to
landscape professionals, park administrators, historians,
architects, city planners, and students-and it is a perfect gift
for Olmsted aficionados throughout North America.
