Overview
As significant as the mansion of a great Gilded Age estate like Florham¿the New Jersey country home of Florence Vanderbilt Twombly¿was its landscape. This book explores how that greatest of all landscape architects¿Frederick Law Olmsted¿visualized 1,200 acres of woodlands and scrub growth and swamps and transformed them into a magical country retreat for a family which could afford, and demanded, ¿the best of the best.¿ The book includes planning drawings that illustrate specific concepts for the development of the estate and many paste and present photographs that show what was and what is.This historical record describes the origins of the estate and the people involved--from the landscape architects of Olmsted's firm to the men who dug and planted.
