Additional Details

These Prang cards of early Central Park were issued in five packs of twelve, of which two packs are apparently present here. The mats obscure most of the titles, but five are visible: "Rustic Arbor," "Boat Landing," "The Arch," "The Brook" (illustrated), and "Cascade." The cards are quite scarce today, with Columbia University possessing the only known complete set of 60.
