Charles Eliot, landscape architect, a lover of nature and of his kind, who trained himself for a new profession, practised it happily and through it wrought much good
A memorial biography of landscape architect Charles Eliot, assembled from his letters and reports by his father Charles W. Eliot and published by Houghton, Mifflin in Boston in 1902 for a professional and general readership. Plates mix dense pen-line views of trees, lawns, shorelines and country houses with surveyed plans of reservations, giving designers hatched foliage textures, horizon compositions and labelled estate maps.
