Frederick Law Olmsted

Designing the American Landscape
by Charles Beveridge and Paul Rocheleau
edited and designed by David Larkin

Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) designed America's most beloved parks and landscapes of the past century—New York's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, the U.S. Capitol grounds, the Biltmore Estate, and many others. From the authors and photographer of the definitive book on Olmsted comes this condensed edition presenting the breadth of Olmsted's work in expansive, beautiful color photographs. The engaging text illuminates Olmsted's role as an indefatigable resource for the social influences as well as the designs of landscapes.
