Description:Excerpt from The Central Park: Photographed, With Descriptions and a Historical Sketch No collection of views of the Park completely satisfactory, as an artistic production, can be made these ten years. Then, the grounds will be laid out, the buildings finished, the foliage massed and lined, the pedestals of the Terrace occupied by their destined statuary. And whenever a better book than this shall appear, and better pictures, the makers of these will cordially welcome them. The Historical Sketch is chiefly concerned about the aesthetic career of the Park. Its political and financial management were far less safe, and not as appropriate subjects for this book. But none the less are remembrance and credit due to the Board of Commissioners, collectively and individually, for the great amount of obscure and severe labor which they have unstintedly bestowed in securing appropriations, overcoming and conciliating political and personal oppositions and interests. The descriptions in this book were written in the presence of the scenes described. They are set down as if in the course of a walk about the Park, and as if orally delivered to a companion, with the pictures in hand meanwhile.
