520 Drawing on the unparalleled collection of original designs
for Central Park in the New York City Municipal Archives,
Cynthia S. Brenwall tells the story of the creation of New
York's great public park, from its conception to its
completion. This treasure trove of material ranges from
the original winning competition entry; to meticulously
detailed maps; to plans and elevations of buildings, some
built, some unbuilt; to elegant designs for all kinds of
fixtures needed in a world of gaslight and horses; to
intricate engineering drawings of infrastructure elements.
Much of it has never been published before. A virtual time
machine that takes the reader on a journey through the
park as it was originally envisioned, The Central Park is
both a magnificent art book and a message from the past
about what brilliant urban planning can do for a great
city.
