First edition of the first volume of the autobiography of one of the foremost figures in American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated, tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait of Olmsted. Edited by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. and Theodora Kimball. Association copy, inscribed by Frederick Law Olmsted on the front free endpaper, â C. Bowyer Vaux from [printed calling card: Mr. Frederick Law Olmsted. Brookline, Mass.] Philadelphia. December 13th 1922.â The recipient, Calvert Bowyer Vaux was the son of English-American architect and landscape designer Calvert Vaux, who brought in the elder Olmsted (who had never before designed a landscape) to plan what was to be their most famed and celebrated effort, New Yorkâ s Central Park. Vaux, on his own and in various partnerships, designed and created dozens of parks across the northeastern United States, most famously in New York City, Brooklyn, and Buffalo. He introduced new ideas about the significance of public parks in America during a hectic time of urbanization. This industrialization of the cityscape inspired Vaux to focus on an integration of buildings, bridges, and other forms of architecture into their natural surroundings. In 1865, Vaux and Olmsted founded Olmsted, Vaux and Co., which went on to design Prospect Park and Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn, and Morningside Park in Manhattan. In Chicago, they planned one of the first suburbs, called the Riverside Improvement Company in 1868. The preface notes this volumeâ s commemoration of the centenary of Olmstedâ s birth, describing his historic partnership with Vaux. Near fine in the scarce original dust jacket which is in very good condition. An exceptional association copy of this rare volume. Frederick Law Olmsted, Senior, was one of America's foremost artists and a founder of the profession of landscape architecture in the U.S. This, the first volume of his papers, was published on the centennial of his birth and contains a delightful collection of autobiographical passages relating to his boyhood and travels in rural England and the Southern States. From this account we get an unusually vivid picture of New England village life in the first half of the nineteenth century. Included in the volume is a short paper on American Landscape Gardening in 1857.

First edition of the second volume of the autobiography of one of the foremost figures in American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated, tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait of Olmsted. Edited by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. and Theodora Kimball. Association copy, inscribed by Frederick Law Olmsted on the front free endpaper, â To George Haven Putnam in appreciation alike of old friendships and of his constant helpfulness in the preparation of this book. Frederick Law Olmsted.â The recipient, American publisher George Haven Putnam, was the eldest son of George Palmer Putnam, the founder of G. P. Putnam's Sons. Putnam published the books of many classic American authors including his close friend Washington Irving, William Cullen Bryant, James Fenimore Cooper, and Edgar Allan Poe. Upon his father's death in 1872, George Haven Putnam took over the business with his brothers John Bishop and Irving. He was made president of the firm, a position he held for the next fifty-two years. In 1884 he hired 26-year-old Theodore Roosevelt as a special partner; Roosevelt would write several works published by Putnam. Putnam had already retired from the family firm at the time of this volumeâ s issue, but was clearly still involved with this publication. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in very good condition. An exceptional association copy. Frederick Law Olmsted, Senior, was one of America's foremost artists and a founder of the profession of landscape architecture in the U.S. The Park as a work of art - designed by Olmsted and partner Calvert Vaux - and as a great and novel public enterprise undertaken by the City of New York has played a vital part in the political history and cultural life of the metropolis, and exerted a far-reaching influence on outdoor recreation and the landscape art in America.
