General

The glass negative is of a printed photograph, probably taken from a work describing the Olmsted Brothers firm's role in the park's design. Although the printed version is dated 1902 it is possible that Sears' photograph was taken at a somewhat later date, hence the assignment of a 1902-1908 span date for his creation of this image and others in this series.
