Description
A vintage map of Fairmount Park, the first park in Philadelphia (currently the biggest municipal park in the city), showing the improvements on the west-side of the river from Girard Avenue to George's Hill and Belmont. This beautifully detailed plan from the public domain was created and published by L. Haugg in 1869. A legend indicates the location of Natural Roads, Macadamised Roads, Natural Walks and Walks Covered With Concrete. The park was designed by well known landscape architects Robert Morris Copeland and Olmsted & Vaux. This reproduction map has been restored, converted to sepia tone and has hand blended textures.
